Scooters N Pooters
Hi guys. Obviously new to the forums. I have owned a Chinese Honda Ruckus clone since 2014. Have put many mods and many miles on it. I just ordered a Boom Vader Gen 1 from Kronic Racing today, thanks to the positive words and reviews on this forum. Pete was a great bit of help, and I cant wait to get my bike. So much more fun to come.

If I have time, I can make a run to Kronik to oversee your bike getting shipped, lol.

I have never actually ridden a mini; I did not ask Pete the last time I was there a couple months ago--I wanted to ride that new retro Boom! bike but it was brand new and didn't feel comfortable asking.

You ought to subscribe to Small Engine Velocity on youtube. Caesar is a member here, but the bulk of his time is producing SEV content. He has numerous Ruckus videos. You said yours are clones...Icebear brand is my guess?

Yeah I have seen many of SEV's videos. Most of what he does doesn't apply to my bikes as much because he is working with the stock Honda GET motor. However I was interested in his videos on the KP Mini 150. I was seriously considering buying one of those, but couldnt find one at a price I was comfortable with.

I really dig that red scoot, right down to the tartan seat cover (plaid for you non-Scottish). I'd love to see that one with whitewalls.
