So there made in China, are they used there or is this a import engine, it would seem that if they were useing them there would be a ton of *aftermarket* parts which doesn't seem to be the case,,,,or so it seems to me.
Engine useage

It's been reported here several times that the 2 stroke engines we're all so familiar with are illegal in China. Not sure if this is fact or fiction but I've never seen a photo of one in use over there and to my knowledge we have no members in China; or at least none with a working bike.

It's illegal to ride anything with wheels in China without proper license or one will face very stiff penalties. An engine would cost a few months wages for the average worker.
I tried getting the specifics but I can't make head nor tales from the website.

I see it as kind of a cheap throw away technology- if my motor blows, I'm likely not to fix it before I buy a replacement- I might replace a head gasket, but I'm old and tired with arthritis- I'm not going to take a piston out.
the parts are all kinda cheap otherwise, and I've already had to buy new levers and throttles
Enjoy it for what it is- and it's still very practicle when you can use it.

This site, using Google Translator, shows that China is really pushing electric bikes and deals with the advancements made, it also shows and talks about the peoples permanent bike and parking spaces for them (I assume to charge them) it's definitely a bicycle oriented site but there no mention of any gas bikes that I found,,,,but I didn't hit the hundred or so sites either.
