My roketa 54B 250 cc has about 750 miles on him now. So I think Fred is past the break in point. Someone on this forum once said gas milage would be better after the break-in. On 2.5 gal of gas I am only getting about 80 miles. (80 miles per tank). I was expecting better mileage than that. Is this average? Or should I be getting more?

wow, from what I read, I wouldn't trust them at all. So sorry about your Dad. He is a little older than me (6 years) and so I can relate to what he is going through. It's too bad there are so many unscrupulous business people on the net. Hope it all works out for you and your dad. I would definitely be writing the better business bureau about this lack of refund. I would lean on pay pal a little harder also. After all, your dad paid for something and he doesn't have the money or the product now. Pay pal has a help section that describes actions they take in situations like this. I don't know if it works or not because I have never used pay pal for a large purchase. Man, you need to go after these people anyway you can.

I like the fact that it is water cooled. Some trikes are air cooled. I wouldn't want to say if you should carry or not. But I will say that when I can no longer ride a bike (due to old age?), I would consider one of these. Top speed is only 65 though. Is this thing highway legal? Don't know that I would want to try it on interstates.

yea, Ain't it great! I was riding just behind a storm yesterday. On me and behind me it was sunny and bright, but about a block ahead of me it was dark, ominous, cloudy and raining like the duckens. And the funny thing was, the storm was moving about the same speed that I was so it stayed a block ahead of me the whole way home. It was really a neat thing to experience. About a half hour after I put my bike in the garage, a huge barrage hit, the water was coming down so hard, I thought it would put a hole in the roof, and the wind was wild! I felt all comfy cosy in my house as the torrent raged outside. But that ride was so neat. I doubt that will ever happen again to me in my lifetime.

turtle8, you got a great bike. I love my 54 B. Hope you have many happy riding hours.

bobf, you sound like a carbon copy of me. Started out on a 150 on small neighborhood roads in a housing plan. Took course at motorvehicles, passed, practiced riding on larger roads, got a 250. Wise way to do it, I think. I ride everywhere now. I didn't go out on regular roads until accelerating and braking were done without having to think about it. Because, on a scoot, you have to pay extra attention to what everyone else is doing.

ok- back to the bike itself. I noticed something about this new kymco that I didn't notice in the older models and the 250 model. It has no leg room. Very little room there to change leg position. I would get stiff on a long ride. And the price is definitely too high
