Two different companies. Whatever seller claiming Bashan as OEM is either in the know, or trying to blow smoke which is more likely the case. EPA/DOT certification indicate two different manufacturers. Bashan does OEM the new BMS CRP 250, and people who have bought them confirmed the mfg plates and MSO state Bashan as manufacturer.

I thought it was weird too.I ordered through Walmart but it comes from Txpowersports.I used Walmart because they have third party selling rules and standards.

That information is for the Brozz. Guessing they tried to pull one past the consumer by 'mistakenly' suggesting Bashan as the OEM. Not that they need to; you guys who own the Taotao seem to love them even if Taotao is the manufacturer.

Bashan is in Chongqing
Tao Tao is in another province all together more north east
