Thanks for the review since there aren't any. I'm surprised Genuine didn't do one.
Thanks for making this. Helped me a lot. Will be getting the Roughhouse 50 as my next bike.
I had mine unrestricted and can do 50mph on the street, 45mph into the wind. Same 50cc too. Good on gas, I add an ounce of octane booster eith 89octane gas. Gives it more pep
Hey Rick, I'm actually set up to buy one of these. What were the modifications you changed to get it up to that speed?
@@brandondaniels1555 just get it unrestricted that's it. My does 50 all I did just stock
@@VampsPlay how do you get it unrestricted ?
@@kseries1982 dealer will do it or do it yourself watch a video on how to
@@brandondaniels1555 were you able to figure out the unrestricted 'thing'? A ha... 'google it' :) How To Derestrict Your Genuine Roughhouse Scooter | NS4L How-To's
Fantastic job bro. Answered several questions I had.
I’ve done several buddy 50’s that easily do over 45mph. Just picked up a 2022 roughhouse. I check for restrictions in tHe exhaust and variator and remove them. Add a scooterworks exhaust withe the fuel jet they suggest and two smaller jets. Check spark plug after a couple long runs and go down with jet if needed. Super zippy and fast all stock except exhaust and jet. $140. Can’t miss works every time
I bought one of these in March 8th just so you guys know the regular roughhouse also comes with 12in Wheels not just the sport.
Great review found one of these with 300 some odd miles selling for 1950$! Really thinking about it
They retail for 2k plus some fees... you might be better of getting a new one as it’ll come with perks like a warranty etc..
Otherwise, talk them down to about 1500-1700.
It’s a great bike, reliable and fun
@@nemanjatosovic hey thank you for your response! I’ll talk to them see what’s up it’s basically brand new but you’re right about the warranty there !
@@zackdiamond8384 point out that the one ones are only 50 dollars more and have the warranty. Offer them 1600 and see what they say.
Realistically, 1700-1800 is a fair price.
@@nemanjatosovic so I reached out and apparently it’s a sport version ? Not sure what the difference did but I’ll look into that then
It’s only got 124 miles on it
Could you make another video and talk about reliability or any issues you have had with it? Nice vid man, thanks!!
Gabe Hodges yeah. I’ll do one over the weekend. I just took the scooter on a 200 mile trip over day and a half. It was fun, but a 50cc isn’t meant to do such trips.
PS - the scooter is super reliable. I did have a couple issues but nothing major and both were my faults.
Nice ride! i have a 2021, love it. It go offroad! No problemo...
love this 50cc, thank you for sharing. cool aesthetics
This looks real good with the flat black
yeah the rh is a good looking scoot
Wow.. Thanks for showing us the Roughhouse 50cc. On this video at spot 3:09 .. you are kind of comparing the build quality of your Kymco 150cc scooter to this Roughhouse.. and you mention the build quality is not as good on "this" one.. I was not sure which one you were talking about .. Is the build quality better on this Roughouse or is the build quality better on your Kymco 150cc?? Thanks you very much..
Late comment, but that's a cracking looking bike! I'd buy it for the looks alone, regardless of whether it's Chinese or not 👌
lol, it is not chinese. people think they are. these are high quality scooter made by PGO. they rival kymcos, yamahas and hondas.
@@nemanjatosovic Ah fair enough mate, yeah I've heard of PGO just not very popular here in the UK. Presumably they don't import here that often.
There's a popular "Chinese" scooter site here called "Direct Bikes" that sell Chinese scooters in the UK, and there is one almost identical to this one in the video, but it's a 4 stroke GY6 and the paint is gloss finish and not as nice as the Matte finish on this one. Overall it looks a bit tacky in comparison so presumably it's a copy of the PGO or something along those lines.
I'd definitely buy one if they where available here, looks fantastic and got to love the smell of a 2 Stroke!

Not sure if the link works, but it's no longer listed on their site. Here's one for sale in the UK. Much cheaper looking if you can see it.
@@leebutler5180 They do look pretty bad ass. I actually just sold mine as I did not see the point of having two. Do you have one?
@@nemanjatosovic No unfortunately not. I live in the country side and the middle of nowhere, so we don't get many bikes up for sale here unless I buy new and get it delivered, but we're talking an Aerox (£2300) or an NRG (£2000) which is a lot of money!
Occasionally a used 50cc scooter will come up for sale nearby, but they have always been thrashed or smashed to peices by the previous owner.
I've got a Yamaha Vity 125cc 4 Stroke which is a fantastic little thing, but I'd love to have a little 50 2 Stroke again.
As soon as I saw your vid I was envious, if I could design my perfect scooter in my head, the result would be this one for sure.
I got a 2021 roughhouse new bought mine at Vernon ct scooter pros genuine dealer had 2miles it got 150 now I highly recommend this bike so fun drive easy light handles really good and it got some pep to it I dont full throttle it as it's not broken in. But I get mine to 40 easy. It can go faster goes up hills really good too it got some power for a little bike. Price tag 2399. It not a cheap built too. The bike gets notice too best looking scooter I seen
Just put deposit on one should be ready for pickup this week hyped
@@jasonlibby2228 such a fun bike you going to love it Get it deretricted too and it can do 50
I’m hoping to get one within th e next week. Assuming any dealer in New England actually has one. From central Maine so hoping someone in NH has one. Bout as far I’ll go
@@jakeclouts3626 I got mine in ct they are a genuine dealership I rented a uhaul to go pick it up as well. Try scooters pros if not one In Maine
@@VampsPlay just put a deposit on a roughhouse sport down in Kennebunk. Couple hour drive so not too bad to go pick tip. Will have it within the next two weeks. Can’t wait!
Well done!
Awesome review!
I had my Sur Ron stolen and am looking for a replacement. This seems to check all my boxes.
My goal is to deliver my truck for Turo rentals and use the moped to get back home. Orrrr rent the moped.
My F-150 gets 15mpg so I’m looking for a commuter with better mileage and save the truck for fun on the weekend.
There is plenty of options out there. They all are fairly good.
"Actually and what not" being used to much, but thank u for your opinion on this scooter.
Actually, you’re right, and what not
looks like a offroad scooter i like that
Yeah, it’s got chunky tires, you can do light gravel roads, but that’s about it.
I would like to hear the engine in the video but I appreciate the video. Thanks!
I like my 2015 Genuine Roughhouse 50 scooter but I am only able to kickstart it to turn on. Does anyone else who owns a Genuine Rough House run into this issue too? Other than that it has been a good scooter going on 5 years now.
your starter must be fried. check out a subreddit called scooters and post your problem there someone will help you out. without much more info i too would be just guessing
Would a 6'2" fit ok or will cramped ?
I am 6'3 I bought a new one exactly like this and mine is flat black factory I fit great on it not cramped I love it I've put 900 miles on it no problems
How is the matte black you have different than the matte black it comes in? How did you customize it?
do you add the oil to the gas or is there a place where you add it? i recently bought a used one in bad shape and dont know where the oil goes
Not to the gas but if you did it shouldn’t hurt anything. So, to the left of the footboard there is a little compartment it sits under the seat but you don’t open the seat where the tank for 2 stroke oil is located just fit it up and you’re good
Theres a compartment too add 2 stroke oil. Use full sythantic oil it's a little more pricey oil but trust me it will run alot better
Pre mix is faster!
😎
Any issues since ? Considering buying one
@@marcofranco6888 I’ve sold it but they are generally reliable. Super simple to maintain, if you change your oil and do the basic maintenance it’ll last forever. Nothing really to it.
Tienes información en español
I'm sorry. My Spanish is not very good. El motor es muy buena calidad. En Estados Unidos cuesta alrededor de 2,300 dolares. Se velocidad maxima es 40 milas per hora (65km/h). Yo lo recomendaría.
Hey bud it's 4.7 hp I have one too
Do you need driver license or license plate to ride this to work.
Generally yes. This may differ by state in Illinois you need a car license and plates.
Does is come with Ac?
It does. I have one and it's cold AF.
hey man can you tell me how many miles i can expect to get out of these before you need something newer? someone is selling one with 7K miles not sure what to expect
If it was well maintained, you can get 30,40k mikes before anything major needs to be done. I’ve seen a genuine Buddys with 40k miles running just fine.
You might need a new belt and idk what condition the tires are in, but that’s about it.
@@nemanjatosovic thank you! he says he has a set of new rear tires on it but i'll probably just buy some anyways appreciate the help my first scooter purchase!
I need one send the address I live in Booklyn Ny
I really like to color! I found a 2012 locally for sale for around $600 with 6k miles that I will probably go for. I'm also not a fan of the shiny black color. Do you remember what brand/type of paint you applied for that finish?
I can't remember. It was just mat black paint I found in Autozone. I'll see if I still have the can. 600 is a great deal. People think that because the RH does not carry a brand name like Yamaha or Honda that it is Chinese, these scooters are just as good if not better than 50cc scoots by honda like the ruckus and yamaha like the zuma. I think these engines can last for 30,40k miles with just basic maintenance. I am actually taking a road trip around the Michigan lake tomorrow, around 220 miles. I'll post a video. PS - go for it! you will love it!
@@nemanjatosovic Awesome man, I really appreciate the video. I was doing the same thing today, looking for vids, listening to engine sound etc, and there really isn't much info/many videos about it.
Yeah these things seem very reliable based on what I've seen on some forums, so I really want to pick it up. Plus, the premium on a Ruckus/Zuma is just crazy. The Ruckus seems quite sluggish, too.
Have a good trip, that sounds fantastic. Will look forward to the vid!
Nads yes! That is why I did the video. Hopefully it helped you! I’ll definitely record my journey and will post it.
@Hoc Del Negro I think 900 for a Roughhouse is an amazing deal. I have ridden the Zuma 50 and the 125 and they are nice scooters, however, I believe that the 2015 model has a 4 stroke engine. The roughhouse has a 2 stoke which at least in my opinion is a better option for a scooter. 2 stroke engines have fewer parts, are lighter and the fact that they complete the cycle in 2 strokes means that theoretically the 2 stroke engine of the same size as a 4 stroke engine will get you double the power. They are not as fuel efficient (90mpg for a RH vs 120 for a Zuma) but that is not a huge deal to me.
As for a direct comparison between the two scooters, I think both are a good option but a roughhouse is a better deal. The roughhouse is made by a company out of Taiwan called PGO (they once made scooters for Vespa and Piaggio), they make quality scooters that are sold all over the world. I do not think that a 2015 Zuma at 1400 is a better deal than a 2018 RH for 900. I have close to 4k mile on my RH and have had zero issues. (A few, but they were my faults, dead battery, replaced the brake lever because I broke the original).
The zuma might have more mod options as it is more popular, it will likely get better MPGs and you get the brand name. With the RH, you get a very peppy 2 stroke engine. Reliability I would say is the same, same for the build quality, and design is a personal preference. RH has a higher seat positioning and more legroom too.
If both were well taken care off, I'd het the RH because you save 500 dollars and do not lose on anything. Hope this helps.
@Hoc Del Negro So you got the RH or the Zuma?
My kick star does not always work. Especially when the bike is cold, it can be a pain to start but that is normal.
If you electric start did not work its mostly because of the battery. Try kick starting it first tomorrow, you don't always get in on the first try, sometimes it takes 3,4,5.. when it starts, ride it for a little bit so the battery charges, after use the electric starter as usual.
New battery is around 25 dollars so no big deal, how did the bike run? I'm uploading a new vid tonight so you can hear how mine runs.
Do you need a license plate
No fucking way. I don't want the cops finding out where I live when I pass their ass at 40 MPH and get away.
Can you ride with 2 people?
I don't have a place for passengers feet on my Roughhouse.
There are some tiny “floor boards” at the very rear of both sides of the deck.its crowded, ands.ow, but taking a passenger is possible, preferably for short distances.
It's more of a 1person scooter. But the sports version you can fit a passenger
A question this moped bike need license driver ????
Not in US I am not sure about other countries. You do need a car license
Actually I leave in new York but some people told me I need license driver ....I don't know is true or not cause they say all gas bike need it
@@Elcuervo_22616 in most states you just need a car license for anything under 50cc
Just a valid drivers license no motorcycle endorsement needed. Most states you will have to register it. Check your state on moped laws
@@Elcuervo_22616 you need a B class in NYC for 50Cc. For 150CC you would need to get M class added to your licence
Hey! How much is the base price for it? The website doesnt say so!
So, the roughhouse 50 like mine starts at $2,300. However I'd recommend you buy a used one, people usually buy it and only out like 300-400 miles and have them sit. A used one that's 2-3 years old can be found for 1250-1500 easily.
There's also other models like the Buddy 50, pretty much same price.
The cheapest good 50cc will probably be like something by Kymco. They make great bikes for a little less money. I'll come up with a list tomorrow and will let you know my picks
Nemanja where can I get a 2-3 year old for 1200-1500 in illinois?
@@baibhavdallakoti5739 I just sold mine last week for 1150 and I live in IL. There is one in Chicago for sale, it is a 2014 with 1k miles and they are asking 1100. There is a few in the Chicago area, they are asking between 1500-1800 but you can negotiate them down to at least 1300. These are all on Facebook's marketplace.
made in usa?
Taiwan
Buraz,jel bolje 50 kubika il 49? Znam da si balkanac 😅
haha, isto njesra buraz.
u pojedinim zemljama sa ispod 50 mozes da ga gonis i bez registracije jedino to
@@nemanjatosovic ahm brate,hvala ti
Nemanja you should call your channel Nemanja and What not ;)
You should NEVER show your license plate on line.
Why not.whats the difference showing it in the public streets same person online same person in the streets.
stauf09 You are correct. It always cracks me up whenever I see someone go to the trouble of blurring their license plate number for a TH-cam video and then they get in the same vehicle and drive it around the country displaying the same license plate on the front and back for the entire world to see. Plus, I can’t remember a time when I applied for credit and the financial institution said, we would love to give you a big loan but before we can do it, we need the license plate number off your moped 🤦🏻♂️.
All public information
But it's ok to show it to thousands of people in person on the streets
Definetally not a pgo big max ripoff
this is a pgo. genuine is just a name it is sold under in the united states.
It is pgo
