Roketa MC-02-50B Scooter Review
by Eric
(Bloomington, Indiana)
I bought this for my wife... the scooter was purchased for $150.00... all the plastic was in good shape and it had about 8 thousand miles on it, but the motor had been rebuilt.
The young man who I purchased the scooter from said it would not start and had left him stranded. Upon careful inspection and removal of the seat on the scooter, the one way gas valve was installed backwards and was not allowing the fuel to continue on to the carburetor.
Upon changing this to the correct position, the scooter runs great. I did put full synthetic oil in the scoot thanks to the great reviews on this site.
My wife loves this scoot and it performs well. I will agree with the review folks on here that with proper maintenance, you will have a good experience with a Chinese scooter, but if you do not have a mechanical background or a good mechanic to do the routine maintenance, you are probably not going to have the best experience.

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.

Attention!
I'm Back!
Yes, I have been noticeably absent from the site the past few months. I recently lost my mother to a long battle with COPD and was subsequently plagued with a bunch of minor health problems. But I'm better now & back full swing.
I had to delete over a hundred questions that had been submitted, some because they were too old for answers to still be valuable and many because they were written in text speak, which I don't accept on the site. PLEASE... use proper capitalization & punctuation, so I can publish your question/review, etc. without editing. Thanks! :)
Wondering why your scooter question never got posted?
Chances are, there is a good reason. Did you...
If you "checked yes" on any of the points above, then I've deleted your post. Sorry, but I have standards. Feel free to re-submit, following the instructions I have everywhere on the site.
Also... all submissions have to be reviewed by me, and that can take a few days sometimes. Comments go live without approval, but still take 30 to 60 minutes to show up, so don't repost them, please.
