My roommate just picked up a crappy used scooter (it's faster than my Ruck, but NOT FOR LONG!!) It's a little two stroke made by Galileo. Has anyone heard of this and is it a knockoff of something "real"? Google turned up not very much....
Thanks, Keith

Probably one of those Chinese scooters that are all the same, but have different names, and are faster than a Ruckus, but since they're cheap, won't run for but another 6 months, tops.

So he comes home Friday from work (driving his car since his Chineescooter is still busted) and asks to take the Ruckus to the gas station for smokes. Comes back with a cross between and scared for his life and asks, "What the hell did you do to this thing!" That makes it all worth it...... KP |

It's funny that there is mention of these Japanese/Chinese mass produced scoots.... With the recent purchase of my '07 Ruck, everyone at work is going out to get scoots.... there are about 4 who went and got this thing called a Rocketa  Brand new and there are parts falling off of them... Six months tops? I think so...  they may have paid $898.00 for theirs, but they are going to need another one next summer! Long Live Team Honda.... ;D So when they are pushing theirs... I'll be them! |

Those chinese POS scooters, 4wheelers, motorcycles etc make me so mad. I dont know why anybody in their right minds would buy into it. Sure it's cheaper, but you'll pay the difference in repairs and/or replacement and also you are riding a knock off of something. Anyway, those companies make me mad cause their products don't last; either parts need to be replaced or the whole thing, which ends up in the landfill and another POS is built to replace it and the cycle continues. That ain't good for the environment, and I'm all for the environment.

Yeah I agree...anything you save up front you lose on the resale value so you're basically driving around a piece of crap for nothing.
