@@darkowlmotowhat’s your weight and height. I’m really torn between this and the x19 200cc 😅😅😅 I’m pretty heavy set. Have a car but Everyone else likes to use it and I wanna just ride around the city or Range about 6miles down the way.
im thinking about getting one because i want something i can mod and make it fast for fun and not put some much miles on my si fg2 maybe 232cc swap with a turbo lol
Are those Illinois plates? I'm thinking about getting the Trike version of this... Would you happen to know if we need a motorcycle licence for these in Illinois?
@@darkowlmoto that is dependent on state tho, 50cc aint street legal here in Nebraska, unless it has rotary pedals and does not reach over 25mph on top of the 50cc engine
@@Nelson4207 I didn’t think it was honestly just wider and slightly heavier. I felt like I could move both easily and felt around the same weight. 🤷🏻♂️
@@darkowlmoto Nice photos, especially the one used for thumbnail, this coming from a photographer. Anyhoo, which model is your bike and did it come with fenders?
i always replace fuel lines. shocks are surprisingly decent! id swap out a better reliable spark plug. other than that change the oil right when you get it and i think youd be set! and most of the Gens seem to be exactly the same. only change is visuals. the same power plant is usually used with next to no changes.
Never had a problem with mine! Usually put of the box you must change oil and upgrade so,e things as they aren’t the best quality to just open and get on and start riding.
Yeah probably because you didn’t do the full upgrades if you mud them out fully you won’t really have a lot of problems of them breaking down a lot do you feel me I pretty much think they’re decent bikes once you replace all the crappy parts on them that’s why people say you got to be mechanically inclined to buy them because when you first get them they are a piece of work I have a telltale 2013 scooter 50 but I made it out to 100 almost 100% modded it out I’m just basically buying all the parts and paying people to fix them is hard because you got a buy really expensive quality parts then you got a find people to put them on that’s why I’m so happy we got a few more to do all I Gotta do is fine front forks In front tree column and I got a change the top handlebars to aluminum then I got to buy some front fork shocks My forks and then I got a buy high-performance engine starter another one and that’s pretty much about it
@@darkowlmoto This is a IceBear Maddog 150 Gen IV. In my opinion the best year and the best model. I have the 50cc and I'm sold on it's style alone. It's a scooter so don't try to make it a hot rod ... CDI is about all you need to do and have the valves set. Also need to go over the whole bike and replace the cheap clamps, hoses, exc ... Well worth the time.
@@comatose3788 well said. And yea when I had it I did all of the mentioned. That goes for any clone bike. CDI is all I bought for it. I since have upgraded to a 2021 MT07 for this riding year
@@darkowlmoto Only thing I did wrong was messing with the air filter off the carb. It looks 100% better I think with a stub filter off the back. However, after more trouble than it was worth and a new carb .. I found the bike really likes it's stock intake.

It just makes it able to rev a bit higher, I used to have one on the 50cc, stock it would max out at 30 around 5500-6000 rpm, with the racing/blue cdi It topped at 40 at 7500-8000-ish rpm...Still slow but gained a good 10 mph before having to mess with the cvt rollers.... lol

These things look fun been tempted to grab one
Have fun man ride safe 💪
You should! They are fun for sure.
What's the top speed on those things ?
@@chrisasaurus for me it was about 75

@jaredpilone1790 they can hold some weight! I'm 130lbs and 5 foot 9
You got a follow up video? Curious how much riding you’ve done after almost a year. Is it still holding up?
I actually sold it to upgrade to another bike! As far as I know the person who bought it still rides it!
@@darkowlmoto Oh, right on! I'm looking on getting one. Thanks!!
I’m from Chicago I just purchased my first scooter 150cc I want to get a maddog they look awesome
Some people chop stock mufflers in half also taking out half the fiberglass for a little more sound
im thinking about getting one because i want something i can mod and make it fast for fun and not put some much miles on my si fg2 maybe 232cc swap with a turbo lol
I got the Gen V 150cc Maddog and it's fun to ride it. I say it's worth it especially since it's cheap.
Kool content on small cc engines !
Thank you!
Do you still like your chuckus after nearly a year of ownership?
I loved it! But sold it to move on to other projects!
I'm going to pick up a gen 5 this summer for my birthday. My Bday present to myself!
Have fun!
Hey dark owl where do you buy your tires for the motorcycle
Oh and awesome video 🎃
Any motorcycle parts website should carry after market tires! Revzilla is a good place to look!
Such a nice scooter!
I'm looking at one of these for 1200, turns but won't start due to fuel/ carb leak.
Great bike! I want one... What am I looking at $?
Depends where you decide to order from! Check out venommotorsportsusa.com
where did you purchase this again? I've been looking to buy one of these 150cc clones and how much was it and shipping?
Look at venommotorsportsusa.com I can’t quote shipping as it’s different everywhere.
Are those Illinois plates? I'm thinking about getting the Trike version of this... Would you happen to know if we need a motorcycle licence for these in Illinois?
If you get the 50cc you do not need a motorcycle license only a valid drivers license.
@@darkowlmoto that is dependent on state tho, 50cc aint street legal here in Nebraska, unless it has rotary pedals and does not reach over 25mph on top of the 50cc engine
Did u have to jet the carb when u did that to the exhaust
Nope!
I’m looking to get the trike version of this same vehicle. How much heavier would you assume that one would be?
Not by much I’d say a few pounds over. Both are pretty light weight!
Nah, that trike weighs way more...
Ive seem one in person and they are twice the weight im sure.
That back half is hefty
@@Nelson4207 I didn’t think it was honestly just wider and slightly heavier. I felt like I could move both easily and felt around the same weight. 🤷🏻♂️
Have you had many problems with it?
None whatsoever!
Nice bike how fast does it go
It goes about 70 tops! Just depends on your weight and conditions
@@darkowlmoto Nice photos, especially the one used for thumbnail, this coming from a photographer. Anyhoo, which model is your bike and did it come with fenders?
@@atticusgreer. thanks! I can’t remember what gen it was but it did come with fenders!
You can go to the dollar store and get a bottle of awesome to clean the oil or any Grease it's a degreaser
I did in the long run!
Has it been reliable?
Yep! I ended up selling it but if taken care of property it will last!!
Where did you order your scooter?

Hey Dark Owl, I want to buy one. Is the Gen 4 the best? Other than the CDI, should I replace anything else? Shocks? Fuel Lines? Pump?
i always replace fuel lines. shocks are surprisingly decent! id swap out a better reliable spark plug. other than that change the oil right when you get it and i think youd be set! and most of the Gens seem to be exactly the same. only change is visuals. the same power plant is usually used with next to no changes.
@@darkowlmoto Hech yeah. Thx
@@darkowlmoto the gen V looks light-years better
@@uploader11459 it definitely does! This was a fun little bike when I had it.
Can you ride on the freeway?
Technically yes, but I wouldn’t personally.
Where did you buy yours
Purchased through venommotorsportsusa.com
Where you at in Illinois I’m in Aurora! 👊
I suppose you need a motorcycle endorsement in Florida. But the Ruckus is a 50cc bike
Not familiar with Florida laws but most states if it is 50cc you don’t need anything other than a valid drivers license to operate on public roads.
Where can I order this

I had one of these scooters and all it did was break down constantly that's why I sold it

How much assembly was required to put it together? If I buy one, should I just take it to someone else to assemble?
It came fully assembled. Most of these bikes the only thing you have to put in if it says you have to assemble
Is the front brake and tire. Which is really easy.
Every ride you have to do work!
I never had a problem with it.
I haven’t had any problems with mine.
R&L carriers sux
Yea pretty shitty customer service too.
What where did you buy this at?
Venommotorsportsusa.com
Put the mirrors down not up ...
Lol personal preference
@@darkowlmoto Give it a shot I'll bet you'll like it ...
@@comatose3788 I’ve had them like that and I didn’t lol. Besides is bought a 2021 MT07
No orange or racing cdi. They're complete trash.
I've used a specific brand in the past that I will be purchasing for this gy6.
It just makes it able to rev a bit higher, I used to have one on the 50cc, stock it would max out at 30 around 5500-6000 rpm, with the racing/blue cdi It topped at 40 at 7500-8000-ish rpm...Still slow but gained a good 10 mph before having to mess with the cvt rollers.... lol
@@yashiroku correct allowing you to essentially get a slightly higher top speed which for the price is nice on a 150cc!
what was ur top speed?
I got to about 55 never got it to its full potential as I didn’t take it far or on a long enough straight away.
Always have to work on it 150?
What do you mean sir?
We want to hear the bike not your music…
Boohoo then buy one or watch my video where you can actually hear it.
Do you have a FB or Instagram page? I have some qs
