Hi Alleyoop, Thanks for your fast response! Yes, my ride was a brand new 2013 Honda Ruckus. It does have the original GET(?) engine and it even had warranty on it, but they refused it because I serviced it myself and had some after market parts ... I've looked around and if I send the engine to be overhauled and to do some performance upgrades, it would cost me around $1200 and that's why I was thinking about the Ice Bear. It has a killer look, but I was not sure about reliability and performance. I can get the Ice Bear for about $1400 and though even if I spend another $200-$300 for performance (no idea what) it might make sense. Any thoughts? Thanks again, HoSsEiN

Hi Jim and the others ...
I am a Ruckus owner and have recently had to put it on the side as the engine is making terrible noise and the scooter is not operational after about 7000 miles.
I love the looks of PMZ50-20 and am considering purchasing one, but I am not sure how it would perform compared to the old Ruckus. I had Dr. Pulley clutch kit and Daytona variator on it with the stock engine and was hitting 35-40 miles on flats and downhills. I am 225lbs and 6ft tall.
From your experience, how does the PMZ50-20 compare to the Ruckus in performance? Out of the box, will it be slower/faster? Would the clutch and variator upgrades from my old Ruckus work with the PMZ50-20?
I would appreciate your help and guidance ... HoSsEiN
