Asiawing LX450X / 亚翔LD450 Rider Review

[Steve_Halt]

Damn, Steve. I note you've been dealing mainly with the shop that sold you the bike. Any chance of dealing directly with the manufacturer? Shame them into action?

Meanwhile, we'll be watching for plumes of black smoke over Nanjing...

cheers!

Actually, I went to that shop once. and they said they couldn't help me anyhow. Since then I've been fixing it at a different shop with the help of an "independent" mechanic, who's not affiliated with any shop. The dude's been awesome so far. If it weren't him, the bike would've been long dead. As for the manufacturer, I don't think it'd be worth it, because even though the website of Asiawing is still on, there's been no response to my emails from them. Neither did they ice up hone calls.
I could probably go to Shandong, Tai'An and somehow talk to the factory management, but I work 24/7 which basically leaves me no time to do that. My work is actually the reason I need a RELIABLE bike :)
For all I know that "Asiawing" company might not even be anymore

Hi Steve,

thank you for your postings here which let me give up the idea to purchase this bike. It sounds like a nightmare to me.

Cheers

Dear Andreas, you've just saved yourself lots of troubles with:
1. Wiring
2. Overheating engine
3. Dim headlight
4. Plush brakes
5. Wooden tires
6. Useless engine noise
7. Valve adjustment
8. Broken spokes
9. Twisted rims
10. Immensely uncomfortable seat

Cheers :)

Hi Steve,

if you need a phone number of the factory I can let my wife search the mobile number of a guy we met one month ago at the factory. I asked the guy how they will deal in case something will fail with the bike. The guy said, that they will send me spare parts for free in case of small malfunction or pick up & ship it back to factoy in case of bigger problems. Perhaps that can help you?

Cheers

You want to burn your bike? Steve, where's your environmental awareness!?

Here's a plan: box it and send it to me. I can solve аll the problems that you mentioned, and even have an idea what to do with "useless engine noise" - I will scare people all over my village.

You do not need to pay me even a dime - I will take it with no charge. I will, as a token of appreciation, send you a bottle of my own three year old slivovitz, plus another bottle of last year's apple brandy, just because you're from the "Northern Venice".

For details, PM me anytime.

But where's the fun??
"useless noise" is that the Db level doesn't quite match the Nm level that thing has.

[blackened]

Yeah, that'd be great!
Appreciated.

Steve,

here it is: 15166487593

But looks like the guy is just speaking Chinese. You can tell him that you got his number from the German guy from Qingdao. Hope he can remember his words regarding the free spare parts.

Good luck!

I speak basic Chinese, should be enough to ask him a couple of questions :)
Thank you!

Texted him first thing in the morning - no answer. Called him - the call goes through but nobody pics up.
