I bought Rodeo in July 2010. Its the best scooter with unique features like front fueling, big boot space and large storage unit. Its been more than two years I am riding this and I never feel any decrease in the performance level.
It has great pick up, its very smooth and it has awesome road grip.It doesn’t at all vibrate unlike other scooters when the speed is increased. I feel great when I get my Rodeo back after I exchange with my friend’s scooter. It also gives a decent mileage upto 35 Kms. To all who are facing the problem with auto start, I have a suggestion. Disconnect the light from the storage unit and I bet you would never face the problem of auto start again.
Even I had the same issue initially, but later I came to know that the culprit is the light which is consuming all power of the battery as in some scooters the light doesn’t get switched off after the seat is shut down. I can start my Rodeo with auto start even after keeping it idle for more than 1 month... Overall its the best scooter. I love my Rodeo.. :)
