OK, this bike is a "Zhejiang" The only problem with this name is that it is like calling a bike a "Chongqing."

From what I can tell, like the Chongqing area of China that manufactures all kinds of bikes, and specializes in the GY, the Zhejiang area seems to specialize in the Hummer. There are dozens of companies from Zhejiang with Zhejiang in their name, and all seem to have Hummers of some sort--this bike is obviously from the same "stock" but does seem to be slightly more comfortable than the off-road only Hummer, and is more than a Hummer with a street kit bolted on.

The other problem is the wholesale price would put this right around the $2000 range retail--slightly expensive considering that for about half, one can get a Hi-bird 250 (manufactured in Chongqing, ). I would like to get hold of one for "evaluative purposes" (C'mon, being the owner/moderator of 'Jetmotogroup' should get me at least a wholesale price on bikes to evaluate them!) However, I do have a lead in to wholesale prices on Hi-Bird 250/Komoto 250's, so that is more realistic for me right now.
