The Maddog 50 Gen I is the original generation of the famous Maddog series, bringing the stretched Ruckus-style concept to the 50cc class. It introduced riders to the Maddog’s radical stripped-down look: a skeletal open frame, minimalist seat perched just above the chunky rear tire, and a lowered stance that screams custom. Under the unique aesthetics, the Maddog 50 Gen I is powered by a trusty 49cc GY6 engine known for its efficiency and easy maintenance. It’s tuned for quick takeoffs and around 30–35 MPH top speed, perfect for short hops and neighborhood cruising. An automatic CVT and low weight make it effortless to ride even for beginners. The Gen I features a wide rear tire and a centered headlight for that bulldog appearance, along with basic but effective drum brakes and simple suspension. While subsequent generations added upgrades, the Maddog 50 Gen I remains a favorite for purists who appreciate its raw, unrefined character and as a canvas for custom builds. It’s a head-turner that delivers big style on a small budget.
