I think that one has to keep an open mind with most any Chinese bike. These things tend to be 'delicate' vs. their much higher priced mainstream counterparts. They seem to have at least one of the specs wrong if these are the same bikes that Excalibur distributes--the tank is 3.1 gallons, not 1.3 gallons. A plus--it is metal.

The plastics are much better attached than an old Chinabike I used to have in 2006, a Jetmoto GY-200. They are fairly brittle, however (mine are still in good shape).
Thanks for the info! More to keep in mind. . .

What happened? I'd love to have the extra reading.
