Only a few Chinese bikes are worth the price at or above $3k IMO. The Zongshen RX3 is one of them (sold by CSC), and the SSR XF250 is another. I would guess the SSR off-road only 250 and 450 MX bikes are a deal, as well. The maxi scooters? I doubt it! I don't think this will fall apart on you, but I do think you will be disappointed in something or another with it, because of the price. That is the beauty of Chinese bikes--the low price point...a $1k Taotao 150cc scooter is one thing, but a $3500 Ice Bear scooter is another.

For reference, search around for one of our members who bought a Ice Bear 300cc trike. He knew what he was getting into, and posted several posts about it, but I have not seen him post as of lately. That bike might be argued to be worth the money since no one ('big' brands) sells trike scooters, so you are paying for the novelty, but a two-wheeled scooter is another thing.
