kczukiman · 08-09-2007, 12:22 PM

I just orderd this for my wife yesyerday.I am curious to know if anyone owns a Roketa or opinions on them
http://www.roketa.com/product/6/0/14608.shtml
I like the width of the bike 43 inches wide should be pretty stable.As for the componits should be pretty typical chines.
I orderd the red one I heard it was the fastest.

Gratz on your purchase. Looks like a standard GY6 motor, which means parts for it aren't a problem. I have a GY6 based quad as well. Good little motor.

Well my wife's roketa came in today.I have it assembled and the battery on charge.I still need to change the oil and trany fluid befor I fire it up.
Man that thing is huge for a 150 cc. it makes my 250 hi-bird look like a dwarf.The roketa is a much better built atv then the hi-bird by far in my opinion.I will post more later once I get her fired up and running.

On the enduro side, a few months ago, there were many members who ordered the Roketas. It seems like this bike has gone by the wayside, but probably not from the quality. I think that the bike never did get DOT certification which I think many states started to crack down on, which eliminated the Roketa from many peoples' wish list.

You need to give us updates as to the good and bad points of this bike. It looks nice enough for a Chinese product.

Well I changed the shipping fluid and gased her up.It took all of 1 second to fire once I hit the switch.I let it idol for about a half hour then took it for a short run around the yard and up the street.It is no powerhouse but just the same she ran just great for the trails we ride on.It is a heavy built atv pushing the 150 cc to the max. but I am 6' 250 lbs and i would estimate about 30 mph not trying to push the new motor to the limit.
Again I can not stress enough how impressed I am on the quality of this machine.The suspension is very very impresive I guess due to having actual air shocks my wife said she felt ike she was gliding on air compaired to her other two 150's she previosly owned.The 150 gy-6 motor is sound and proven coupled with the craftmanship of this machine we feel pretty secure in our purchase.
We plan on taking it out this weekend for its first real test.
Also I forgot to mention that being 43 inches wide this unit is extreamly stable wich is the main reason I chose this machine for my wife,the rest is just iceing on the cake.
I guess at this point the negitives would be,
1.a bit underpowerd
2. not as much time as I would like to ride
3.wish I had this for myself in a 250cc
4.her bike is bigger then mine

Here are a few pics of our ATV's http://community.webshots.com/album/560430796bNAZAN
