Question PowerSportsMax = Xpro ?

A YouTube 'Search' turned up two identical (content & time duration) of those 'unboxing & assembly' videos. The videos introduction said that BOTH were produced by XPro; however, one was on a YouTube PowerSportsMax 'channel'.

Hmmm ? ... same outfit? I wondered? ... given that ChinaRiders warned us about dealing with the Texas 'Manny' distributor sites; thank you very much.

Though the PowerSportsMax site says they're located in south El Monte, CA, good luck finding a phone or location for XPro. ` makes me wonder if XPro is the Chinese distributor, buying directly from the Chinese factories?

Xpromoto is the eBay seller I bought my KPR200 from and all of the paperwork was from Powersportsmax. Delivery was quick and painless.

PowerSportsMax

I live in Oregon and I bought a BD125-10 from PowerSportsMax California Branch on 10/31/2023.

It was shipped from Texas on 11/03/2023 and was delivered to my driveway on 11/09/2023 the shipping charge was $279.00.

They mailed the MSO to me, I got it on 11/10/2023, I took it to DMV on 11/13/2023 and got my plates and title registration that day.

I would say that they have very quick service, the unit I bought was assembled in the crate. It is still in the crate I have not unwrapped it yet.

Their phone number is 855-256-8969

Were there any markings/labels on the (new?) crate, indicating that it was from China? Such markings seemed to be the 'trigger', inspiring R&L employees to damage the crate?

` looks like after assembling it for you PSM put it in a new/different crate - without China markings - thereby not triggering the R&L non-China enforcers?

Was the assembled crate shipped by R&L?

whoever they are I had a good experience with them.

also, even if it is that Manny guy, it’s possible that he learned how to run a business by now. It’s been a few years. He’s had a lot of problems I guess and a lot of bad publicity. Maybe he turned it around.

Who knows? Maybe that was his first business and he didn’t try to rip people off or cause things to go in a difficult manner. Maybe he was just learning how to run a business. All of us entrepreneurs had a first business. I did. I made mistakes. I learned from them and did a better job the next time

Is 'Manny' behind XPro/PowerSportsMax? That's 'news' to me; I didn't know they were connected? I thought 'Manny' was (strictly?) a Texas (Dallas-Ft. Worth) operator?

I thought XPro/PowerSportsMax was an El Monte, CA operation? ... though I vaguely remember someone saying that their XPro shipment originated from Texas ??? That puzzled me upon reading it?

As to/for 'Manny', I don't believe that someone, operating as I've read that 'Manny' does, grows morality? That strikes me as optimistic?


If someone better knows these connections, it would help if they enlightened the ChinaRiders.

Mine came from Texas from Xpro. I guess that’s why I was thinking it might be the same guy

Indeed ... maybe? ... that is perplexing!
