2008 Roketa Bali 150CC Scooter Review

My Roketa Bali Scooter
I will say this to start. If you are not mechanically inclined, don't buy a Chinese scooter.
Next. You don't need to be a gear head that can degree cams in the dark but you do need to understand the basics of mechanics and understand how things work. Most people that own these are the type that enjoys tinkering and changing things.
When I bought my scooter I did a complete tear down -- yes complete tear down -- which means removing all body parts, wheels etc. I replaced all the cheap hardware (screws, body clips, rubber hoses, clamps etc... nickle and dime stuff, mostly labor. I now have a scooter that is sound proof.
Read up, do a search on Chinese scooter PDI!
If you don't mind tinkering and making improvements, then yes, buying a Chinese scooter will save you thousands of dollars.
If you don't know the difference between a flat head, Philips or a box end wrench, don't buy a Chinese scooter because it will sit and no shop wants to work on them.

A battery tender like the Battery Tender Jr. can make all the difference in whether your scooter will start right up each spring, after being stored for months.
Just about every scooter owner needs to have a battery tender, sometimes called a trickle charger. Unless you are lucky enough to live in a climate where you can ride all year long, chances are your scooter will be put on ice, figuratively-speaking, for at least a couple months every winter.
One of the key steps in winterizing a scooter is to protect your battery from draining during its "rest" period. This can – and will – happen if you leave your battery sitting untended in your cold scooter over the winter, even if it's in a garage or shed.
