Ground clearance at Rockot Hound is serious, 260 mm, therefore driving down a curb or a difficult relief out of asphalt will not become an obstacle. But the height of the seat is rather small, only 820 mm, so even the owners of below-average height will feel comfortable.

Rockot Hound 250 is available in three colors: green, red, and orange.
