    Can upgrade to the OEM engines for an extra $50
    Also a water cooled version for $480 wholesale good for 95km/h retail $799

    Thumbs up Yes

    The air cooled version is $290 at wholesale... (Red one in picture)
    Great looking bike with a few trick bits fitted from factory. I toured this factory in 2004, they use a proper factory assembly line and have quality control in place. The quality is very good for the price, they are one of the top 3 factories in Yongkang making Pocket bikes.

    The aircooled ones are a little easier to maitain yourself but the WC is faster. Much!

    Just looking at each of the bikes, the aircooled one seems to be a little better replica than most of the AC reps we get here. It has a removeable subframe and beefy front forks. It also has a front sprocket support bearing on the outside which is good.

    The WC is a reverse engine rep, something I've not had any experience with sorry.

    newmanz: How much of a deposit are you looking at for the Water Cooled one?

    Ok, a water cooled engine uses a radiator and coolant fluid just like a car engine, this allows the engine to stay cooler and thus can produce higher RPM and speeds without over heating, a water cooled engine will produce about 100km/h top speed.

    An air cooled engine is the cheaper version, basic engine no radiator, top speed about 45 to 50km/h with a standard engine.

    The OEM engines are Hwasheng factory originals, the quality is excellent and they produce more power than the cheaper clone versions.

    A clone engine looks the same but quality is not as good as an OEM engine.

    If you want the scariest ride of your life, a water cooled bike at 100km/h with you sitting 8 inches off the road !!!

    A water cooled pocket is an amazing feeling, very fast when the power band kicks in, you have to hold on, its like sitting ontop of a guided missile.

    If you give me $220 for a Water Cooled, or $150 for an Air Cooled I can spot the rest to buy the bike. The reason i can offer them cheap is that a full 20 foot shipping container is much cheaper to land than one thats not full, because the shipping ports have to unpack my stuff instead of just delivering the container to my warehouse. If they unpack it, i have to pay the monkeys who do it $70 per cubic meter !!!! So by you helping me fill it up, your saving me money that I inturn can subtract from the cost of buying your bikes.. So its a win win situation for both of us.

    So for a water cooled one is $220 deposit and $260 when they arrive?

    Seems pretty good. I'll see what I can work out.

    When do you need confirmation of this?

    Yes thats right, the container is booked to leave in 3 weeks time.
    Pay the remainder when the bikes clear customs.
    Just call me if your keen,... you can always sell it and make some money, thats the other thing. Last water cooled I had, I rang its nutts off for 6 months, crashed it twice and sold it as is where is for $700, still ran mint and was the scariest thing I ever sat on, excluding my mates V8 5 litre supercharged motorcycle
