I know exactly what that is. A store down the street from me sells every model of scooter Roketa makes, including that one. You can buy it already set up for $1500+, or $1100 in the box. I like the Sicily 150 model better, it looks more like a Vespa. If I were going to buy one, I'd get it in the box, so I could make sure it got assembled properly, plus saving some money. They should reach 50 mph, and if you really take good care of it, it should last well over 10,000 miles. BUT, a 150cc scooter does not get nearly 100 mpg, more like 65. My former Kawasaki Eliminator 125 (recently sold) got about 75 mpg, but it had a manual transmission and chain drive, which is more efficient than a belt/variator drive. So it's not really a gas saver. My Honda Met 50cc scooter goes 40 mph, and gets just a hair over 100 mpg. I have never been able to get more than 85 mpg out of a moped, probably because they are 2 stroke, but they are fun, and they last forever. I never got 100 mpg out of my '05 Yamaha Zuma 2 stroke scooter either, but it was faster off the line than the Met. I have 16,000+ on an '03 Tomos, and it runs like new. But I guess I have to quit bragging about that, seems like I saw a post from somebody that had almost twice that many miles on one. FWIW, Roketa parts are available, for now. Peace, Jerry.
