Motoring Across the USA on a Ruckus Scooter

Posted by Alex in Car & Vehicle, Travel & Places on December 10, 2007 at 5:08 am


A young Korean man named Wan saved all of his money for one year to embark on his dream journey: traveling across the United States (about 3,868 miles) on his tiny 50cc Honda Ruckus!

Wan started in Fayetteville, North Carolina and will end his 3-month journey in Los Angeles, California.

TotalRuckus, a forum dedicated to the motorscooter, has the story. It’s a bit long, but it has fantastic photos of Wan and the people he met along the way!

    Reminded me of Giorgio Bettinelli, who drove a Vespa from Melboure Australia to Tierra Del Feugo Patagonia.

    on a bog standard PX200.

    Well, it’s a whole lot easier than running or doing it on a bicycle!

    Me and a friend tripped from Milano to Rome on the same 150cc scooter. It’s name was El Toro.

    I would think he might have a difficult time using many highways and freeways—many states have minimum engine size requirements that exclude scooters from larger roads, and esp. in the far west, the highways are often the only roads you can take.

    Update: he’s crossed America and is now on his way back, through northern states. he says Yellowstone is the best national park he’s been to.
