How does the Ice Bear scooter differ from the Honda Ruckus?
The Icebear maddog “borrows” multiple styling ideas from the Honda Ruckus, the frame design and headlights are almost identical, as are the rugged tyres and naked look. However, Icebear takes the basic concept of the tiny Ruckus and stretches the Maddog into a longer, in my opinion, cooler shape.
