The Maddog Gen V 150cc (PMZ150-22) builds on the 50cc design with more power and range for highway riding. The 149.5cc air-cooled engine produces enough torque to carry a passenger and maintain higher speeds on interstates. The automatic CVT transmission still means no clutch and no shifting. Twist the throttle and ride.

The exposed tubular frame keeps the Ruckus-inspired stance from the original design. LED lights front and back cut through traffic, and the digital dash shows speed and fuel level at a glance. This is a scooter that handles city commutes and long weekend trips.

Three reasons riders pick the Gen V:

Motorcycle licensing. The 150cc class requires a motorcycle license and standard registration in all 50 states. This opens you to both highway and local roads with full legal status.

Real highway capability. The 149.5cc engine cruises at 55 mph or better and carries enough fuel for 200+ miles between fill-ups. Stop for coffee, not gasoline.

Passenger-ready. Larger frame and stronger engine make it comfortable for two riders. The rear footpegs and grab bar handle a passenger without strain.

Who it fits

Commuters who need faster freeway access. Riders who take longer weekend trips. Anyone upgrading from a 50cc who wants more muscle. Riders in states where moped registration isn't an option and need full motorcycle status.
