The Zoomer is a motorscooter developed by Honda and introduced in Japan and America in late 2002 (2003 model year); in Canada and the USA the model name for the same design is Ruckus. The Zoomer/Ruckus differs from more traditional scooters because of its rugged design including tires that are thicker and have deep treads, and a skeleton frame that intentionally lacks an enclosed storage compartment.

The Zoomer is also available within European countries, but is technically different in its execution from both the Japanese and North American models, with the utilisation of a small, single point programmed fuel injection (PGMFI) system, a different fuel pump arrangement (to support the fuel injection) and an oxygen sensor, which is fitted just before the exhaust silencer.
