I use my Lifan 200GY5 as a source of shade for a hot buzz worm.



My 07 Lifan has been used about 75% off road for 50,000+ miles. Here are just a couple of thousands of pics. This one is on the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park with my daughter on the Lifan powered CT90 and my Lifan 200. We rode the 100 mile trail twice, once each direction.

Found this thread.. To post pics from your ride.. worth resurrecting

This is a very steep 4x4 trail that reaches a mountain summit and then continues. I had to walk up to verify it continues on after the summit and it does so thats on my agenda next time

Tried again at the hill climb today.. sadly only got up to about 3/4 or so way before i lost traction and was done for... slid backwards a bit and had to twist and turn to re-orient to go back down.. the way down was interesting, slid my rear most of the way lol..
I have dubbed it "Impossible Hill"

Well... mine is used as a commuter most of the time, something that's plenty evident by its general setup. Cruiser tires (Pirelli City Demon), hard trunk at the rear, and even cruiser/chopper style blinkers, to replace its own off-road ones that were falling apart.


Occasionally, I use it for a small excursion within its fueling range, and some mild off-road.
