How to Change the Turn Signal Bulb in a Roketa Scooter
Roketa's scooters rely on their turn signals to alert other motorists of the rider's intention to change lanes or direction of travel. When the bulbs within the turn signal burn out or break, the intention to turn cannot be communicated and often leads to an accident. Replacing these tiny bulbs, however, can be difficult since the turn signals are integrated into the scooter's plastic cowling. Getting behind the cowl is actually easier than it appears.
