    Good info sir. Thank you for the detailed results of your test. While mini-motos aren't for me, I still enjoy seeing them and learning about them. I've found that in my 2nd childhood, small bore engines do it for me. Either ya love 'em or hate 'em. Finding one that fits can make a huge difference in the fun factor. Those Groms fill a good void as evidenced by their popularity.

    Hey Don, thanks for the vlogs. I like live streams, however, I rarely get the notifications ontime, end up watching live stream on the reruns. I lol to myself, wondered if a Ruckus could out run a dog,.

    I was noticing the drive-by shots. They look cool but look like they would be a lot of trouble to do. Set the Insta360 and tripod in place, turn on, drive away, drive past, then come back to get the camera and tripod if it hasn't been stolen. It's cool, but I would understand if you didn't want to do that. You probably know Sincloth702, he does several of live streams a week, and it seems to help grow his channel. Stay safe!

      No single channel in particular. On some channels, the rider is the star and the camera is always on them anyway. It's easy to do if you are naturally "a talker" but gets repetitive after a while, in my opinion. On my channel I try to focus on the journey or the destination which can get repetitive too if I don't take you to new places.

    I'd like to add one question if you don't mind... I love your videos by the way! My question is that I own an old 1978 Honda Hobbit moped. On long trips I have a very annoying issue, the vibration from the engine travels through the seat and causes certain body parts to feel numb when I stop for a bathroom break. Sorry it's an awkward question! But I'm wondering if the Ruckus causes this as well??? Can you ride a long ways without going numb? It's super annoying and I'm planning to sell it and get a Ruckus IF the Ruckus offers better comfort and less vibration? Any info appreciated much thanks.

    • @Dondular
      @Dondular 3 месяца назад

      I do not have that problem but it might be that you’re tall and sit further back on the seat? I’m 5’10” so if you’re taller than that then you might have the issue. Not really sure. If it’s just the vibration then the Ruckus is pretty smooth. If you can find one on FB marketplace you should be able to test ride it. I don’t think Honda will allow test rides on a new Ruckus.

    • @rovertv7902
      @rovertv7902 3 месяца назад

      @Dondular thats great news thanks for the info! My current moped has a saddle seat and the front points upward which likely is making this problem occur. I could always add padding or gel pad to the Ruckus very easily as well. The seat is so simple on the Ruckus it'd be easy for me to Customize if needed. Plus it sits flat rather than pointing up like my current bike. So im thinking the issue wouldn't be as bad on the Ruckus. All I can do is buy one at this point, i have the info I need thanks for your help.
