Hey all,
I have been thinking about getting a Ruckus for a couple of years now but my situation didn't make that very practical. Well things change. I have an easy 3 mile commute to work and a truck that gets 10 mpg (and a second project truck that gets about 8). The problem is that I am 6'2" and didn't know if the Ruckus was a realistic option. I stumbled across the Battlescooter shop in a local Craigslist add for a Ruckus. After asking a friend that is in to scooters and lives in San Jose if he knew anything about Battlescooter (turns out he does and has rather a lot of experience with it and Rucki (plural of Ruckus is the same as the plural of Elvis impersonators right?), I decided to run up to the shop a couple weekends ago. Somehow I ended up coming home with a Ruckus (or at least most of the pieces of a Ruckus) in the back of my truck. I have been reading the forums here looking for advice and bit of knowledge and decided I should probably contribute back to the site. I have been blogging bout my Ruckus project and rather than retype everything here I will just post the links to the posts I have written up to this point. Thanks for the help you have given me so far. I am sure I will continue to lean on ya'll in the future.
Part 1, The Buying Experience
Part 2, Putting It All Together
Part 3, I'm Too Tired For a Catchy Chapter Title
Part 4, Coke Can Tuning
Part 5, Weight Savings (and then adding some back.)
