2022 Honda Ruckus: The Quintessential Scooter

Despite its utilitarian looks, the Honda Ruckus has been a hit since it first hit the scene in 2003 under the disguise of the “Honda Zoomer”. Since then, the Ruckus has built a tightly knit community around modifying this capable scooter as it continues to evolve through the years.

The 2022 Honda Ruckus brings a layer of convenience to the Japanese motorcycle manufacturers’ lineup thanks to its easy-to-maintain – and more importantly – easy-to-ride nature.

What makes the Honda Ruckus such an awesome bike is the fact that most North American states/provinces allow this bike to be ridden with a learner’s permit; meaning that it is a perfect first choice for anyone looking to gain experience on two wheels before moving onto a full-sized motorcycle.

The Honda Ruckus putts along with town thanks to its 49cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. Although the engine itself is quite underpowered, what it lacks in umph it makes up for in efficiency – 114 miles per gallon to be exact. Compound this with drum brakes all around, 1.9” travel front fork, 2.6” travel rear single shock, and a low price tag; the Ruckus is a great choice for who want a beginner moped from this year’s lineup.

The 2022 Honda Ruckus starts at $2,899 USD / $3699 CAD

2022 Honda Ruckus Features

PERFORMANCE

LIQUID-COOLED ENGINE

The Ruckus has a liquid-cooled engine that offers exactly what you’d expect from a Honda: power, reliability and great fuel efficiency.

DRIVETRAIN

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

One-speed automatic transmission means no shifting ever—not even into park or neutral.

STYLE

A STYLE ALL ITS OWN

What you see is what you get. With its minimal bodywork and rugged overall style, nothing on two wheels (or four) looks like a Ruckus.

CONVENIENCE

ELECTRIC START

Turn the key, press the button and go. Getting started on the Ruckus is that simple. An electric choke makes getting started in cold weather a snap, too.
