I'd actually never thought of checking Craigslist. I'll give that a once-over and see what pops up.
Are Chinese scoots really that unreliable? I had read that they can be kinda flaky, but those reports were from 3-4 years. Figured they would have grown a bit more since then. The scoot isn't really a necessity, so I don't need it to be fully functional 100% of the time. I'm only about 5 miles from my work and have been riding a bicycle for around a year now. I'm also okay with dropping a few hours or so a month on upkeep. Been meaning to bump up my mech skills a bit anyways. That being said, I'd rather not spend more time fixing than riding, so if they're really that much trouble then I'll take your advice and sway away from those scoots.
One of the sites I was checking was www.motorscootershopper.com/, which seems to have some good tips, but also seems kinda biased towards Chinese scoots. All of their reviews are on Chinese brands. The Roketa MC-54 250B did catch my eye, though, and it seems to have fairly good reviews. It's also pretty snazzy looking, and under 2k new. All of which screams "too good to be true", of course. Has anyone had any experience with Roketa?
