Roketa Trike questions?

Hey, all.

Does anyone out there have any experience with or has ridden the Roketa MC-21-250 trike?

It's a Piaggio MP3 clone. I don't see it for sale anywhere and I'd like to get one for the Mrs.

http://www.roketa.com/product/productlist/34399.shtml

If you know anything about about this scoot, I'd appreciate any info you can share.

Thanks!

I have seen at least one honest and negative review on You Tube. May be worth looking there.

Hmmmm...I've searched and I see everything but the MC-21-250. Even when I do a search online, the only site I can find it Roketas.

If you find a link, can you post it up?

Thanks!

Sorry. Now that I read your post more carefully I think that what you are looking at is different that what I saw.

Those Piaggios are interesting.

No problem, FastDoc.

Yeah...I see a lot of the Spyder clones. We did look at the Piaggio...really don't want to spend that much, so that's why I'm trying to find out some more about the Roketa version.

I emailed Roketa...let's see if they answer.

If anyone else has info on the Roketa MC-21-250 (Piaggio MP3 clone), please let me know!

Thanks!

Off topic, but I gotta know: Do you own a '63 Olds?

Wow! That looks like an interesting trike! Have you found a vendor? Do you know how much they cost?

I suggest you try giving Roketa a telephone call, instead of relying on email. I puchased a 21-inch, front wheel from Roketa for my Zong. I called them with a few questions before purchasing the wheel, and they were very helpful over the telephone.

Thank you, Brother Weld. You are quickly closing in on 5 digits, yourself! I'm sure you will reach this milestone today, as well. Thank you for all your fellowship, and your wonderful contributions to these forums.

Hey, gang.

Sorry it took so log to get back here.

I called the "local" Roketa dealer. He said the Trike isn't even for sale, yet! He said Roketa likes to ist tons of scooters & bikes to see which will drum up a LOT of interest. Only then, will they be sold.

I couldn't get my hands on that trike if I wanted to.

When I asked the dealer about a 250, he said he was getting in the MC-54B-250.

My wife liked the looks of it online, so maybe we'll go check it out.

I'll get back to you on it if/when we do.

Nuff said.
