Looking to upgrade and gain some speed. Anyone got a recommendation? Looks like they start at $30 and go to $100 or so.

Greetings:

Polini or Polini for Ruckus both worth the pain if you have the clams and care to carve. Stock used Ruck vario almost as good. Get the SEF ramp plate unless you buy Polini, which uses its own bespoke design.

you gotta get an SEF ramp plate made for the ruckus though correct? I tried putting my elite SEF on my ruckus and it ddin't fit.

Right, forgot about crank diam difference. Scooterwerx fabricated a washer to press on the 16/Ruck plate once. Polini once did make a small-diameter plate for its Aero/SE products, but may be scarce now. May be hard to get another brand plate to fit Polini casting.

I really am just looking for a bolt on part. Are the $36 ebay ones any good?
