I looked around and the bikes look good. I am really considering buying one of the Heist. They are bigger than I though.

Something is not right I checked again and they do not have anything on the EPA list for 2015?

They also have the Ace on their website listed as a 2015 and for sale online…
The last EPA certificates are in 2013 : DCCWC.250QJC-001
It is possible that they are late entries, they do have certificates for 2016? A whole bunch!

New is 2016, but who knows?
They list the manufacturer for the Heist as Qingqi Rhon, same as it always has been, but the Misfit now has Qingqi Dalong as its OEM and Jinan Qingqi for the Ace. The Engines still all as Lifan.

If you want to verify the year...then enter the first three character off the vehicle Identification Tag on the bike here into the field named "WMI", That will bring up the files for decoding the VIN, the documents are hyperlinked tell you how to determine the year.

yeah all of them are only approved for sale in 49 states, for 2016.

Hmm, We have 2014's and 2015's here in Canada.

On another note, when I am in 3rd gear on my Heist if I roll into full throttle its like the engine bogs and I have to back off the throttle so that the bike can continue to accelerate. Is this normal given the power output of the engine? Bike is stock.

That type carburetor has an accelerator pump, it’s supposed to add more fuel when you pull the throttle. It’s the part on the side were the second cable attaches to, if you are opening the throttle it should squirt in gas, it has a spring on it I believe. It may be that I do not have one like that but they all work on the same principal a spring and tension opens and closes it.

Good to know! Thanks for the input I will check that out.

Well I went back to the dealer and ordered my Heist yesterday. I talked the wife into me getting one. She is not a bike person. I cant wait to get it home this week and ride. I ordered the mat black. I have a few small mods in mind right off. 12" ape with new cables and brake hose, straight ex to make it load and add the kick start. I figure all the negatives I have run across is things coming loose like the plate I can live with. The engine and main components seam to be solid and I love the look. So I am buying one. I do have to say the dealer does not know much about the bikes they are selling. He told me they were 100% made in the USA. I also straightened him out on the year of the bike. He has it listed as a 2015. When I confronted him with the EPA cert he was fast to tell me it was a 2013 and it is new in the crate. I seen it. But his short comings aside I will get mine next week. He is going to title it and inspect the bike with the Texas DMV and I should have it mid week.

I have had my Heist for 2 weeks and have put 300 miles on it. Nothing has come loose and have had no issues as of this post. It rides a lot better than I thought it would. No mods yet. It runs highway speeds fine. I run 60-65 to work with out rapping it out. I am about 160lbs , 5'9" tall. So far I think I made a great choice in buying this bike. I have put about $6 in gas.
