    SSR Motorsports is advertising some Pioneer Motorcycles (Qingqi Group) the motorcycles include both a 200cc and 250cc version. They are advertised as (Coming Soon).

    The models are also advertised on this merchant site for $1,999.00 and $1,899.00 respectively, you can only currently ascertain the price through the sites shopping cart, the prices above currently include freight. Prior to Easter weekend they had the prices displayed and also as an introductory price.

    The EPA certificates for the 250cc is held by Daifer and the 200cc is held by Qlink. SSR only holds one EPA certificate in agency with Value Group Enterprises. That certificate is unrelated to these as it is for a 50cc scooter manufactured by Bashan.

    Pioneer and Jinan Qingqi are the same manufacturer, they operate out of different factories though, they share a common WMI , which is LAE .

    The only real noticeable differences in these which seem to be Pioneer models and models coming out of the Jinan factory is that of painted body parts, the Pioneer models also have a different side body part then the Jinan made models the Jinan made seem to all have colorized plastic.

    My Jinan Qingqi has painted plastic with the slightly different side panels. I would like to try side panels shown above as the ones on my bike cut into your legs if you try to stand. I wonder what 17" knobby tires are on the black bike? AFAIK, 17" front knobbies are almost nonexistent... I'm guessing that's a rear tire being run on the front.

    Those disk brakes are not good, they should change to the newer, floating discs, as the old ones shown overheat very easily.

    Cheers!

    Did you check the VIN on it G in the eleventh character is Pioneer A or B for Jinan.

    Side panel parts:

    They may not look good though if the rest of the bike is painted a different color. The triangle flat black and the other part the color of the bike would though.

    I really hope that they do not raise the price of those with the bad economy and all the people loosing their jobs. Many seriously cannot afford more than $2,000.00 even though the bikes are really good bikes and we all know they are….they have been reviewed and all that have them really enjoy them.

    The Qlinks sell for $2400 via JP Motorsports (and others, too), so SSR, not being a recognized brand, would have a tough go at selling theirs for $2000, let alone higher. However, JP has some 250 Quigqi enduros at $3000. I spoke with the sales manager at JP a few weeks ago, and the story behind those was that they imported a handful of them from China to gauge the public's response. At $3000, in a tight California economy, they still have a couple left, which doesn't surprise me. Qlink XF's have a decent reputation in the US, with the majority of the same public who don't or didn't know the Chinese OEM behind them buying them and recommending them to friends, so the fact that the same OEM selling a larger engined bike would be ignored does not surprise me. I still wonder why Qlink never bothered to bring the 250; I understand a few years ago there was a glut of leftover 200's which were heavily discounted, but now they have started importing them again should have seriously considered the 250 which, as JP as shown, are EPA/and even CARB, certified!

    Here are some images of the bikes, it looks to me that the 200cc has 17” with a heavy tread patterns and the 250cc does not….the one online merchant site has the tires sizes on both as 21/21 which is obviously not correct.

    I sent an email to SSR asking how can the bikes be purchased.


    They responded that they did not have any in stock and expected them in MAY…June at the latest. They do not sell direct to the public and the bikes will be available for purchase through the online merchant links on their website.


    I do not think they will sell a lot of the 250cc at $2,000.00 even with the freight included. They and their online network is not that well known, not that well indexed on the internet. I am just offering a little free help.

    The brakes are different….the difference can be seen on the bikes being sold under the Qingqi name.


    Bigger rotors and a double caliber in the rear opposed to a single…if the Qingqi branded bikes have a floating disk then that’s a nice feature for such a low cost bike. The SSR are and should be priced lower they have some obvious cost cuts in the component parts.
