My argument FOR Chinese bikes is the price. I am talking about easily registerable bikes like the Lifans or the TT250 from CSC. Registration has become difficult in many states for non-DOT approved...

Welcome to here!

Znen is a decent quality product. They in fact do OEM for several 'brands' in the US. I understand that with Chinese manufactured bikes, if a brand wants a better quality bike,...
