We are making the transition back to an information only site. 2020 has had everyone re-evaluating just what the heck we're all doing. Well, Battlescooter is no exception. My near 20 year journey of distributing parts has effected my ability to enjoy my true love, which is riding. I'll still be working in the background at a limited capacity. We need a way to monetize the site or just sell it outright. The bottom line is I'd like to distance myself from selling parts. The Powersports business is full of predators and parasites. That said, we'd like to thin some things out and you can find some of those items for sell at this link. Please still keep in mind, online sales have killed our sport and only lower product standards. For the most part, the people that run shops care about the sport and fellow riders, online sales only damage that relationship. If you would like to be part of the solution rather than the problem we would love to do business with you.
Let's clear up the word "Scooter". A scooter or "scoot" is a motorcycle first and foremost. It's that two wheeled thing you use to scoot.. I came up with Battlescooter because it's a scoot that looks like it's battle ready. Ready for a fight. Battlescooter online was started because of two simple things. The first is the US introduction of the Honda Ruckus in 2003 and the second is a life long admiration for Japanese attention to detail.
Of course I like all bikes, I'm addicted. I can safely say more than I can remember, I know it's way over one hundred. The same goes for cars. Very few of those are the same model but the one I seem to be drawn to is the Ruckus. I've had anywhere from 2 to 6 Ruckus at any given time since 2003. I got my first Ruckus from the first crate delivered to the Bay Area in 2003. I still think back about if things would be different if I chose red rather than the black. I also wonder who it was that got that red one (^_^) Did they get as hooked as I did? -Edit- I started telling the whole story but that's really a book. Let's just say I love the Ruckus.
Battlescooter online was all about the Ruckus. The Ruckus is the reason for Battlescooter. We never set out to sell all the parts for the Ruckus, just the ones we like. If you would like to have a special product made please let us know. We have relationships with the top parts manufacturers in Japan so anything is possible.
In our brick and motar store we have sold parts for and work on all bikes because I do love all bikes.
I've been riding since I was 12, when I bought my 1st bike. Life long lover of fixing machines with wheels and paid mechanic for over 30 years. I have nothing but admiration for the Japanese focus on detail. We are fans and all about Japanese style bikes.
