The Roketa 150CC Scooter features
a 4-stroke 150cc engine with 9.4 horsepower that can reach speeds of 55+
miles an hour. The Roketa is built with a look and feel for speed in mind.
This engine is timed to go faster than most 150cc scooters, but will still
be able to produce more than 70 miles per gallon. The 12" aluminum wheels
give this scooter a smoother and more stable ride. Available in the cool
colors: black, blue, red & yellow with its rear cargo rack and matching
cargo box. |
About Roketa Scooters
Roketa Motorsports was founded in
2004 as a company to import and wholesale motor scooters, motorcycles and
ATVs. It’s actually a DBA (doing business as) entity under the parent
company Goldenvale Inc, a Chinese owned corporation based on Ontario,
California with offices in Los Angeles and Dallas.
Roketa scooters are by far the most well known “Chinese” brand of motor
scooters in the U.S., making headway in the market through online sales
distribution. The online approach allowed Roketa scooters to penetrate the
American scooter market fairly quickly, but early on they inherited a
reputation of limited availability of parts and after sales support.
This is also what foreign automobile manufacturers have gone through when
penetrating the American market. When automobile brands like Honda,
Toyota, and Datsun (now Nissan) began selling in the U.S., they too
suffered from quick reputations of poor support and parts availability.
Many an auto shop would post signs in their businesses stating that they
don’t work on foreign cars. But as these foreign brands began building
their infrastructures for parts, service and quality control in the U.S.
their reputations not only recovered, but many a car enthusiast will tell
you that they are better than American made automobiles.
Likewise, Roketa scooters' first few years in the American motor scooter
market weren't smooth, but we are already seeing improvements in quality
in Roketa scooters, as well as parts availability. In fact, most active
members in scooter enthusiast sites on the Internet will tell you the
quality of Roketa scooters, as well as parts availability in the US, has
improved in the past couple of years, so much so that even trusted
retailers such as Amazon.com now carry Roketa scooters.
The value of Roketa scooters is by far the cost. Roketa scooters sell
anywhere from half to one third the cost of similar well known name
brands. Given the prices, dealers of other brands with high sales prices
frequently resort to FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) marketing tactics
in order to compete with Roketa scooters, making the case that a person
should be afraid of buying Roketa scooters (or any Chinese brand), instead
of qualifying why the brand they sell costs two to three times as much.
Ultimately a person with interest in buying Roketa scooters is a
completely different person than a person with interest in buying a Honda
or Vespa scooter. Much like a person with interest in buying a Hyundai or
Kia is a completely different person than a person with interest in buying
a BMW or Jaguar. People buy Roketa scooters because the numbers add up in
their favor - just do the math.
When it’s accepted that Roketa scooters don't compete in the high end
motor scooter market, but in the low cost motor scooter market, we can see
Roketa scooters for what they are. Roketa scooters are the most widely
distributed low cost brand of motor scooters in North America. If you are
considering buying low cost scooter, motorcycle or ATV, with the amount of
volume and growth Roketa has had since 2004, Roketa should be highly
considered. |
