electric motorcycle brand aims to give Europe # 39; bike market a boost
The Lifans come, the Lifans finally arrive, in 2017, the US market is a reputable brand, low cost Chinese with dealers, service department, and perhaps even guaranteed.
Lifan, the largest motorcycle manufacturer in China, and one of the largest in the world, is again entered the US market in 2017 with street bikes, dual sports maybe, and a mini fight against Grom If you remember my review of the Motorcycle Mount minibike he had a Lifan 80cc pull start the engine by Google searches on it, I found the new US site Lifan and information on the upcoming 2017 bikes , these are obviously not against-shopped against the latest bikes liters, but maybe rides attractive entry level.
Pictured above in the balance of the actual race, cycling Sport King Power Racing is a 200cc bike, with a fuel injected, single-cooled 18hp water intake If you know of other Chinese imports, you know that they usually have Honda CG125 clone engines with air cooling and a carburetor It is nice to see Lifan at least try to move into the 21st century with new modern engines Only time will tell if the brakes, suspension and sustainability of these bikes are good enough for the hard life of a first bike for the American rider it May 30 seat height, weighs 330lbs and has an estimated top speed of 75 mph, making it well suited as a starting cycling peak power is only 8000 rpm as it seems that you do not have to work hard to maintain in the power band.
Is even less know about this bike except specifications, which are pretty much the same as PRK-200 The only difference I can see is that it is lighter by about 15 pounds, which would indicate that it's just a naked version of its sportier brother.
This is the fighter Lifan Grom, and has a familiar clone engine evolution Honda I have a 4-way comparison test of this, the Kymco K-pipe 125, Grom and Kawasaki Z125, but who knows if we can get the Lifan is about 20 pounds heavier than Grom, but still weighs less than 250lbs, and as you can see the features inverted fork and disc brakes front and rear If one believes data sheets, mini Lifan brands 2 hp more than Grom, which doesn t sound much, but when you talk about this little bike which is an increase of 20.
Lifan had one screen to AIMExpo Florida last month, and there was a dual sport on the stand, but no details were in the press information sent over on their website is that cycling, X-pect 200, with a cooling engine air 200cc making 14hp road and 286lbs weight anyone who goes out knows how popular the lowest price game bikes Some consider maintenance as they are being ' execution long enough for the original purchaser to be graduated to a bigger bike, or switch to a different hobby.
Lifan has been around since 1992, beginning as many popular brands with a guy in a garage fixing and doing things they have been in the US market prior to, but ended up going against the EPA because some of the motorcycles and scooters that they or other importers have brought more did not meet smog laws required they are a major player in the small hole bicycle market in Asia, and their replacement engines if official imports or not have a ton of old replenished Honda Z50, Trail 70, and pit bikes in the last 10 years in this country in Asia, and other countries, they also make cars, trucks, buses, trains , shoe race and wine.
