I decided to start a new business because my shop has recently closed down. I'm thinking of getting a home business that my family and I can work on. I also realized that having a webpage online is much cheaper than opening a store. Now, I'd like to buy two Roketa scooters for small deliveries in the area. I've just received my mortgage quote and I saw that I can't really spend a lot on vehicles. I even got that offer from the best mortgage lender in our area but still my  mortgage rates are not that good. I heard that Roketa scooters look nice and are really cheap. But, I also read some complaints on Roketa scooters online. What problems do people usually encounter with Roketa scooters? Do you think I'll spend more on repairs on Rocketa parts? 

There are a lot of Chinese scooters in the market today. In fact, 50% of the scooters in the world are produced in China. Because the scooters are being sold at lower prices, it is very tempting to opt for such scooters instead of getting the more expensive European, American or Japanese counterparts which can cost twice of five times more. Unfortunately, even though Chinese manufacturers are pulling their weight in improving the quality of their products, clearing up a bad reputation from the thousands of complaints online can take a longer time. Although there were some people who are satisfied by the quality of their China-made scooters, there is a greater amount of negative publicity available online.

Some of the complaints online include defective parts and unreliable customer service. Most of the scooters in question are Chinese models like Roketa and Tank scooters. According to one of the buyers, the Roketa scooter he bought had a speed cable that got broken after one month. He even mentioned that he had to start the scooter 4 to 5 times in order to keep it running. 

Another buyer complained the Roketa scooter he bought leaked oil the first time he used it and the muffler guard fell of two weeks after he started using it. For the second complaint, the company who sold him the scooter merely told him that he should check the nuts and bolts carefull before he rides his scooter. And, for the first complaint he was told that he should have it looked at so that they could send him the defective part but they wouldn't cover the labor. He found out that the leak was caused by a cover gasket that wasn't put in correctly. He ended up spending $200 for the scooter he bought.

Although such horror stories may scare you off, you may need to consider that since there are a lot of Chinese scooters in the market, they have bigger chances of getting more complaints. After reading through most of the forums online, you will notice that most of the posts do refer to the company that distributes the product and not the manufacturers in China. Perhaps it’s safe to say that you should also choose the supplier or dealer that you would like to buy from. Lastly, you should also make sure that the scooter can be registered in your area. Because some brands of Chinese scooters have missing features required by certain states, some of them cannot be registered in certain areas. So, if you want to own a scooter, you'd better check the rules and regulations in your area.
