190cc Mini!!!
Look what 190cc beast that Pitster Pro is dragging out! When a 160cc engine swap is NOT enough...

Thats a rather interesting set of bodywork, it appears to be a mixture of Gen1 and Gen2
body pieces with a 3rd party front fender thrown in .It looks good though, and the Zs190 swapover is factory done ,I'd say depending on the price point this is one to really watch .

The MSRP is $2500. Not outrageous, IMO, considering the Grom with a ZS190 swap I saw a couple weeks ago in the L.A. Craigslist for $6k. It seems in line in price with a Vader or Hellcat plus 190cc crate engine. There are more photos in the link above.

$2500 is more than fair , in fact i'd say it's a steal .You'd be hard put to buy a Chinese Grom clone and a Zs190 engine and do the swap yourself for less than that, and this way you are spared all that work, just jump on and ride ! And Pittster Pro has an excellent reputation for quality in as far as Chinese origin bikes, so there is that as well.
Really a nice find and offering , I would hazard to guess these will sell like proverbial hotcakes once word gets out

For Californians, the only way to have a 190cc mini would be to build it ourselves, as I am guessing this bike will be most unwelcome here. Kronik Racing in Simi Valley sells the parts and 190cc engines to convert Vaders (they sell Vaders, too).

I guess you have to buy the turn signals and mirrors then install them for it to be street legal.

Pitsters full size bikes come with mirrors and turn signals, and I am fairly certain they intend this one for the street. If you call them, they can verify.

I called the nearest PitsterPro dealer near me to inquire more about the ADV 190R. They told me they can get the bike 2600$ MSRP. To make it street legal they said they have to wire the electrical. Mirrors and turn signal will increase the price to 2800$. They also said they will have to change it from off-road to street in the registration documents. So still cheaper than a Grom. Does anyone know it's top speed?

I should add, I recently saw a Grom that someone had swapped the stock engine for a ZS190, in the L.A. Craigslist with an asking price of $6k. Not that that is what it is worth, or will sell for, but I do think getting closer to $3k is a little pricey vs. buying a ZS190 from Pitster and installing it in a Boom Vader (or their other minis whose names I forget,) Taotao Hellcat, SSR Razkull, or Ice Bear Fuerza or Ice Bear Little Monster. But, all the work has been done for you, and with Pitster's reputation, should be a good package overall vs. retro-installing a ZS190 into one of the above.
