Well it's not actually 200cc, it has a Lifan 168cc, fuel injected version of a GY6 engine. The scooter itself is a clone of the Honda Click 150 which I don't believe was imported to the US.
I have one of these on order from Amazon and will post a review in a couple weeks.


Here are the published specs:

*Note the 6.8 kw max power is probably wrong because that is the published power of the 125cc carb version of that engine.

What is the running weight?

I probably should know that, but I have no idea why it’s 100 pounds more than the weight.

They call it a “200” if it is any bigger than a 150cc these days.
“It is the Way”

Genuine scooter company is the only exception that I know of.
For some strange reason, they refer to their 168cc Buddy and Hooligan
As “170s”.

Maybe running weight means shipping weight?

I also ordered one. Hoping it does not have stalling issues like the Spark 150. I've read that there's an automatic choke that causes flooding even when at temp. Also, one Spark 150 rider had to turn out screw 3.5 turns for sea level because it was running so rich. Please post any steps here from unboxing to tuned for road and issues, solutions. I'll do same

I was originally looking at the Spark 150 and read about the carb issues. That would be easy enough for me to remedy but then I discovered the EFI Clash which is basically the same but with EFI and a bit more power and a Lifan engine. I wanted a flat floor, large diameter wheels, a 150cc GY6 engine for easy parts availability. Good to have someone to share tips with.


BTW they shipped UPS and the stated shipping weight is 311 lbs. 331 lbs is a common load capacity for smallish bikes so that's probably what is meant by "running weight."

Who actually manufacturers their scooters and motorcycles?

Sometimes the manufacturer will be listed on the VIN plate but it may just say Vitacci. Judging by their rather large line of vehicles it's likely Vitacci buys complete vehicles from many manufacturers and puts their name on them. In the case of the Clash the engine number indicates it is a Lifan but the rest of the scooter may well be made by another manufacturer.

I've been looking at Vitacci's recently. That model was on my short listas well as the GTS 250, which is no way a new model, but still cool: https://www.vitacci.com/scooters/gts-250cc/

I like the design of that one with storage like a Helix but Vitacci needs to correct their specs. 7.8 hp and top speed of 56 mph?

Here is a used China Falcon 200 on my local craigslist that I'm sort of mulling over.
Hurry up and ride your Vitacci so you can advise me, Mudflap.

It looks quite a bit different, but is probably mechanically very similar.
Tempting at $1,300 with 5 miles on the clock.

Engine is probably identical to the Clash except for fuel injection and maybe a different manufacturer. Many of the Chinese scooter importers are based in Texas so you may be able to choose any one you want and pick it up instead of paying shipping.

Smart Deals Now is the seller on Amazon and so far I give them a thumbs up. I've had a couple questions about shipping with UPS freight and a real person has answered the phone and responded quickly to messages. The scooter was shipped out of the LA California area.



BTW UPS shipping is pretty terrible about "incidents" causing delays and updating tracking info.

Waiting on the new owners here and on ADVrider to get some miles on their Clash 200.

A caution for anyone buying through Amazon: The advertised shipping company is UPS but it's actually TFF that used to be UPS Freight. They appear to be totally incompetent. 1st delivery date from their website was 4/13. No calls no show. That night it changed to 4/14. No call no show. Then 4/15 no call no show. Then 4/18 no call no show. Then I managed to talk to the local guy and made an appointment for 10 to 12 on 4/20. No call no show. Unable to get in touch with them since. May have to take a refund from Amazon.
