Rider Profile

Best ForIdeal for beginners or anyone wanting a simple, low-stakes machine to learn basic two-wheeled control.
PurposeBuilt for short, casual urban and neighborhood errands rather than any kind of serious performance riding.
Rider FitIts tiny 88 kg wet weight and low 734 mm seat height make it extremely easy to handle for riders of almost any size or strength.
CharacterA quirky, fun, low-powered fun-scooter with fat tires and a laid-back cruiser-like stance that prioritizes charm and simplicity over speed.
Not Ideal ForNot suitable for highway travel, long-distance touring, carrying a passenger any real distance, or anyone needing quick acceleration.

2020 Honda Ruckus Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 734mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2020 Honda Ruckus, with a moderate knee angle of around 95 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
