When I arrived in Guangxi last August I needed a new motorcycle to help me travel. Not having a drivers license I needed to find a bike that was cheap and legal to ride. I found out that I could pic up a new 48cc step through machine for about $250 USD.

The quality of the materials was low, but the bike did only cost me $250 and was only meant as a stopgap until I found something I liked better and I was a100% legal rider. The bike did it's job well and lasted over 10,000km until I finally broke down and bought a bike that would be a little more comfortable for the wife and I to travel on.
