Would you own a china scoot?

[buildit]

Long debates have been held over the actual value of the china copies. But I have to admit, were I a 140-180 lb rider looking for a little pit bike or camp ride, for $760 shipped I'd really have to consider the pro and cons.

It's made in Chino California? And it can't be sold in California. Ha!

edit: I think it's assembled from import of Chinese parts, of course...

If I had a van for camping, I'd strongly consider one of these.

[ReconRat]

Here's the one that they can sell in California (CARB approved) - $1,825.00

Znen KingKong - yeah, that's Chinese...

My wife's scooter was Chinese, it wasn't too bad.

Not real solid but it survived going down once with only a few scrapes.

my grandpa had a roketa and it was great until he fried all the electronics from using a car charger. My dad got it and brought it back to life after a year of trying to find parts.

I'm pretty sure the drawbacks are warranty ability and parts availability. I guess just don't need parts and you're good. Price is almost too good to pass up for a brand new vehicle...

[SAMBUSA]

Tax and shipping puts it at $1007. I want, just to screw around with lol

[buildit]

I was going to say the $760 included that Oh but if I was short and small like all of you!

[speedytriple]

I want one of these looks like to much fun.

[buildit]

So in reality it sucks.

[Gixxus Christ!]

There is no way you would find me on one of those ugly, bug-eyed fagmobiles

[ohiomike]

NO thanks.....I'm thinkin they would make awful good targets.....

[2talltim]

they are alright if your buying it for what it is (a cheap "toy" to "toy with")..once you take it beyond that your in trouble

[Dubguy85]

I just sold my zuma for 900 and it was MINT.. don't waste your money on the chinese crap!

[2Wheeler]

Cheapest Zuma I could find at the time was $1800. Too much for a pit bike.
