2nd gen lifted Tacoma eats gas like a pig going to buy a Roketa Scooter and BS thread

My beautiful 2008 Toyota Tacoma with a 6 in lift and 35's is fat AF when it comes to fuel... I am going to look at a beautiful Roketa mc-54-250B scooter to DD so I can park the beast.

I am also big... 6ft 3 inches and maybe 320? This scooter will get a work out!

What is Everyone's thoughts?

 

top speed is 70MPh!!! MPG is in the 80's and my commute will only be like 10 miles round trip <_< plus there is one near my on craigslist used for 800 cash with 900 miles on it

 

You doing billies?

 

you can buy them brand new for like 1700 shipped... they are chinese scooters and when you get them you have to do quite a bit of work to make them last forever... but it is a killer deal for one it looks like the guy took great care of it

 

what are billies lol?

 

It's probably a Chinese manufacture, which is why the price is so low.

I assume you've looked into that scooter online, if not.. I would. Your commute is so short it probably would be fine either way, but those Chinese scooters are shit, generally speaking.

Also 6'3 320? Pics of you riding it!

 

Beat me..

 

I am trying to see it tonight... if I grab it I will post pics of me on it.

 

My phone auto corrected bilsteins to billies. Which is odd, cause I've never typed billies.

 

If I get it I am going to get a sticker for my tacoma that says I DD a Roketa with a picture of a big guy on a scooter burning some rubber.

I think it would be hilarious.

 

It looks really comfy. Gotta admit, something like that looks like it wouldn't be too terribly bad to ride.

 

I agree people say they are the best chinese scooters people are reporting 20k miles on them without a hitch

 

also this scooter will pay for itself in 2 months.... I spend 400-500 a month on fuel (currently commuting 60 miles a day on my tacoma)

 

What do your winter temps get to?

 

annual temp in my area is between 40-60 summer and winter.... so winter would be mid 40s up to 50.... the main thing is it rains A LOT here (PNW) so I have to get good rain gear.

 

How'd your commute go from 60 to 10?

Won't pay for itself as quickly if you're thinking if you're not using the same commute miles for both.

Your truck mileage would be even worse on a 5 mile each way commute, so there's that. Still probably a cheaper option, but doesn't seem like 2 months would cover the cost in savings.
