I am looking at a 2017 Maddog 150cc ruckus clone. Has anyone had issues with them and how does it ride?

I would expect some occasional electric gremlins but otherwise few problems. The Maddog should be easy to troubleshoot since you will not need to remove body panels to do it.

It sounds like the same things should be replaced on these scooters as other chinese scooters: fuel lines, spark plug, belt, tires. I think if you properly tune the stock carb and re-jet along with properly setting the valve clearances, they run just fine. At least mine does.
I just rolled over 3k miles on mine and my rear chinese tire is almost worn out. I'm really looking forward to putting a decent tire with balancing beads on there this fall.
