The GV that will be badged as a Hyosung, will have a bored out version of the v-twin, 275cc
This is all relatively new stuff, there is definitely an affiliation in China with Qingqi.

Yes Qingqi is making or joint venture with the company - I've got a high up manager friend there in Qingqi

Ask him if they are working with Mahindra, now that they have a controlling interest in Peugeot scooters.
Doubt that as Qingqi make their own wee scooters and the main dealer doesn't stock Peugeot French crap but another dealer does - these business things are weird set ups and not to be completely understoodQuote:

The Django sold in china is not likely imported, even though its price would make one think it is.
I would wager to bet that many parts if not entire models sold throughout the EU are made in China.
They are likely on the radar of the people at Mahindra through the JV, it presents a link between the two largest markets for scooters. They may be empowered in the future or discounted, since Mahindra owns the majority share in Peugeot they can control that.
Hyosung is the brand used by KR Motors their venture with Yinxiang may or may not be ongoing, at one time 2009 UM was involved and distributing rebranded models of Hyosung. There are links back to Suzuki and engine technology utilized by KR, that is based on Suzuki technology.
The industry overall has excess capacity, many factories kept upgrading and expanding, then the bottom fell out. So it makes sense for a company like KR Motors to take advantage of the excess capacity at Qingqi.
Guys, don't ask me why I ask you this, but does anybody knows is everything is OK with "Qingqi", are they still in business? :eek2:
Romet sells a new Romet CRS 125 from Qingqi, so i gues they are in business.Quote:

I wouldn't be surprised that those bikes are from Shandong "Pioneer"...
