I don't know of anyone putting a footbrake on their Ruckus. So, why don't you get to pioneering! ;D

LMAO was just going to start working on a footbrake setup tommorow Ill let you know if I have any luck. First have to make the footpeg set up I made stronger to hold a set of controls. Off a harley or crusier I really like to use something off a Honda vtx my brother better hide his lol.

Well made some progress on what will work.Here is my delima. I eventually want to put disk brakes on the ruck which will make this somewhat eisier then trying this with cables.but think ebay might have something off a old harley that might work. The guy is taking more pics so I can decide before I buy them. Also having a friend that works at a metal shop see if he can make my footpegs stronger. So will be awhile before any actuall work is made but getting the ball rolling.

Think outside the box, look at mountain bike parts or racing go-karts.
I'm looking at robbing a racing go-karts brake setup.
I'll post what I find but it may be awhile before i get to it.

instant foot brake!

just out of curiosity why would you want to put a foot brake on?

Just being different I suppose....... One cool thing I like about the Ruckus is the ability to personalize the mods and show some ingenuity. Really no greater purpose other than being different |
