I've been lurking for a couple weeks now and finally registered an account. Awesome site this one is. I'm not yet a scooter owner though I plan on buying in the next month or so. I'm kinda set right now on buying the Eagle Rugged 150 / Roketa Warrior 150/ Roketa MC-60-150 at the moment. Anyone know much about this scoot? I've read the very nicely done review by mhan from a few months back but haven't seen anything recently about it. Also, can anyone recommend or not recommend www.extremescooters.biz? They seem to be the only one who ships this bike assembled. I ain't scared of assembly but I currently live in an apartment so time from uncrate to running machine has to be very quick. |

hey I'm extremely new to this too, but after looking around the rugged and the warrior look to be almost the EXACT same. Are they just manufactured and repackaged for different companies? Would appreciate if anyone with a bit more knowledge on the subject could respond to this. Also, everyone seems to talk down about the rugged and says just try to find a ruckus. Is the rugged really that bad??? The price seems right, 1379 online.

me again -- just looked at the roketa and that looks JUST LIKE the other two!! A lot of online stores say they send these out "85-90% completely assembled" so that isn't the only one

Yes they are all essentially the same bike.
I'm not sure if the Eagle and Roketa come from the same factory though. Either way, now I'm not positive a 150 is going to be enough bike for me (I'm no small guy) and I'm also thinking about the Roketa MC-54-250.

Just for reference, in case anyone else is considering the Roketa MC-60 or Eagle Rugged. I just found one major difference between them after an email from Chad at extremescooters.biz. The Roketa is kick start only. It's the only scoot in the Roketa line with no electric start. Part of me says "Well at least it's one less system that can go wrong" but kicking might get old. Also every dealer I've found with the Rugged only has Purple as a color option. I know, it's vanity and color is the last concern but fer the love of all things holy, purple? really?

jb - there's a thread on here about the rugged by a poster named mhan in the 125 + up section called "rugged 150/big ruckus clone" I had also been thinking about the rugged but can't make up my mind between that or the Lance Vintage 150 (yeah, yeah - two TOTALLY different bikes). It's pretty thorough and has a lot of pix ;D, Always helpful to us newbs. If you haven't already seen it, check it out. It was lasted posted on about a month ago so make sure your search reflects that. Good Luck! PS - If I knew how I would just give you the link to the thread  sorry |
