Looking at these prices it's easy to see why MBs don't sell for much.

I think the same thing, and I still wonder why it cannot be done. It is obvious that better technology exists in the Chinese factories and the capacity for good quality control is not out of their reach and all of that can still be done at a good price point..... so why do we still have issues with the Grubby engines?if only the china girl was made as well as the hf motors.
I'm with you, Lance. It doesn't take a genius to fix an HT, and getting parts is not a big problem either. Can't say I've tried bike paths, but that's a good point too. Some few of us would value our motorbikes more highly than these scooter things.they might look cool but good luck if you need parts, and who wants a cheap p.o.s. anyway, the whole idea behind a motorized bicycle is a do it yourself concept, no insurance or even a licence for that matter. you cant go down a bike path on one of those so it does not compare or even relate to motorized bicycles.
Perhaps where you are but not true in all states. Here under an 50cc/2Hp scooter is the same as a moped requiring no plates/insurance/inspection.There's not a moped among the bikes shown. All have to be licenced and insured.
As noted above, insurance isn't needed everywhere but a DL is in many places to ride an MB. As to bike paths on an MB, a MB might be run with the motor off but how many will be do that......... bit of a slippery slope there. Where I live they have cracked down on it, seems everybody carries a cell phone these days.the whole idea behind a motorized bicycle is a do it yourself concept, no insurance or even a licence for that matter. you cant go down a bike path on one of those so it does not compare or even relate to motorized bicycles.
Yup, the mass market, average consumer interested in 2 wheel transport doesn't want a bicycle , they want a slick, ready to roll scoot and the Chinese know this most of all from decades of personal experience.The China girl bicycle motors will never be built that well, as there's not enough consumer demand anymore. The 2-stroke engines are already banned in China. The quality might hold steady for a while, but it is definitely not going up from where it is now.
