Looks like they made a HOTROD scoot for the young crowd plus giving it a cool name MADDOG. Looks like a stripped down RUCKUS and extended with a wide tire on the back and descent 40mph speed.

Bought one last summer,..pleasure to work on,..surprisingly better QC. and wide open to mods,...even an oil cooler mount. Don't expect actual ruckus parts to interchange.
Since it has a fatty rear tire,..replacement of standard and performance gy6 exhausts will need header pipes extended wider to fit.
Has great zip out of the box after normal things replaced like fuel/vacuum/oils/belt from mile 0
After slight tuning of carb
Unsure how this carb is set up as far as jet size..haven't checked since it runs so well as is. But it can't be stock. Intake tube looks cool,.and air flow seems very smooth
Rollers may need tweaking for the hills I have...still breaking in
GPS hits 40 easily on flats,...but not pushing it like a little kid
Will be upgrading trans this spring for reliability and bite
Anyone using the new ncy clutch pulley yet out there?
Cops once said to me at light,...now that's a scooter!!
But beware,..my RMV has this listed in their database as going 41mph+
I had to reg this as a limited use vehicle (although under 50cc) not requiring a MC in Mass
Still need ins + plate,..but riding without $100 of ins is kind of risky IMO
I would of bought the 150 if it was available at the time,..the 2014 ice bear 150 latest model has even more west coast details,...check website
Saves a lot of dough modding a ruck frame and all gy6!!
Mines just for thrills,..too old and busted up for games,...lots of compliments from all ages

Nice big shoes on that alley! Did that come with the rear pulley behind the clutch?
I've seen a supposedly new ncy adjustable rear pulley for about 80 beans online,..but haven't heard anything about it.
I also own a 2008 Suntrike and an Evo 150
I have been nabbing tips from your posts/replies to refine reliability & tuning
Mine is 390lbs,..I weigh 2 bills,...so your set up was a great guide to jump off from,...I thank you!
Retired 4 years ago,..running out of projects & the scoots are fun to run around on
Let me pick or brain a bit,..I'm replacing my Suntrike 150 with a new motor I've been working on during the winter,..stock except ncy intake tube, uni filter, PMC all aluminum exhaust, motorio variator, bai king clutch & bell,..the variator is a bit heavy, but balance is spot on & ultra smooth. Gates belt
1500 torque, 1000 clutch, 10.5 rollers average,..9s & 12s
Do not have motor in or running yet
Am I on the right track? I know you must have experimented a bit before your bbk
Thanks alley
I know you advise to go 4 sizes higher when jetting with these mods,..but will this ring true with my heavy trike? Don't ride enough to BBK it
Don't want to go too lean and burn up a fresh motor,..I thought between 115 & 120 main may be a good starting point to do plug checks,...what's your thoughts?

I just wanted to update my experience with the Maddog 50cc
Took it out of proper storage last weekend to upgrade trans & add goodies. To my surprise,..the clutch had the big shoes on it,..the variant drive was better than stock with 5 gram rollers..couple off by .1
Came with Gates Power link belt. 19mm carb with 75 main 35 pilot
Stock drive face & rear sheave, & clutch bell..1000k clutch & torque springs
Changed out trans to ncy parts & Dr pulley 6 gram sliders...re-jet to 78,..1500k torque
Haven't ridden it yet due to weather,..74 degrees here in mass on Sunday,..snowing Monday night
Idles & revs nice,..will see when weather is good to ride
There's now a website that offers some parts that interchange with both the ruckus & the clone Maddog...I saw on Ice bears website the new changes on another model of Maddog they are making,..cool west coast look but some of the colors are just Disney World/Easter egg colors

Very cool, and your going in the right direction with your 150, it will probably take the 115 or 117 better than the 120 that is a lot of fuel. Mine with the 30 extra ccs it will run with the 120 but it is on the edge so I put in a 122.5 to be on he saver side and a 125 was to much and it would POP when getting 50+.

I have taken delivery on the 150cc Maddog and when I get it done I will make a post. The welding has been improved and the 2014s will be even better.

Thanks alley
I plan to start off with the 120,...then plug chop it,..rather go a little rich with a fresh motor,..then lean it out,..have plenty of jets
The thing is scary over 35 anyways,..like a Model T,..wants to pull around ruts,..steering is so basic!.no steering damper
But its really fun
I changed all the badging/emblems/graphics to a much cooler style,..got rid of that beach cruiser rental look
Will post pics after motor swap

I finished my motor today
Just waiting for weather to warm to get my death trap out of storage and pop it in
Should go smoothly,...planned it out for months
I can't imagine anyone going over 35 in this thing,...really scary!!!
I just want good pep up to 40 max,...I installed the new NYC adjustable secondary sheave,..so I will update if the 80 clams was worth it.
Its supposed to give you better acceleration and top speed with lower rpms
We will see
Got one for my ego 150 too
Also want to mention,..found exceptional oil coolers on monster scooter parts website
30 bucks with hardware & choice of color,..can't beat it
Fits right on the mounting plate of my Maddog ruckus clone in front of seat,..but could be mounted anywhere I suppose
It might be a price mistake,..so grab them up quick,..just letting you guys know since you have helped me

Yes,..the welds are much better,..overall quality is much better
The welds on my tail lights are a bit rough tho
Maybe a beginner on the assembly line,..frame welds are tight
For those who are into quick fun rides,..its a great deal
You couldn't build one from a ruckus for the money & time involved
Just bolt on cool mods,..rejet ,..so easy to work on without a plastic shell
Just a heads up tho,...the mass rmv has the 50cc model listed in their data base as capable of going over 41 mph,...thus making it a limited use vehicle,...plates and insurance,..no Mc required,..tho I have one
Rmv is cracking down
Very cheap to insure & register anyways,..& more responsible
Enjoy the Maddogs everyone,...

Just wanted to mention
Replace or modify the air filter cone on the Maddog 50cc
It only has a 1/8 inch foam filter in it,..horrible,..cool looking yes,..but do something about it
Not sure if the 150 is similar,..intake tube is fine

Well I got the 150 Maddog out on the road yesterday and I have to admit it is quite the machine. I was impressed with the power out of the box I didn't push it to hard, but what little I did it was responsive.. The idle adjustment was a bit low for my liking but the air/fuel mixture was right on. The only issue I ran into was the right side foot peg was angled a bit high. Easy fix, just took the peg off and grinded a little more angle to back side and put it back on. Whole job took 15 minutes. I also tilted the handle bars up a bit so the mirrors showed more than just above ground. Otherwise the PDI went very well, no issues. Cranked up within 3 turns of the motor.
It is a low long machine and requires a bit more room to turn on full corners. All in all a nice machine.
