Very interesting! I've heard that the JL150 can also be ordered with a 250ish motor, but 150cc badges. I've seen a few at the Jialing "dealer" in Beijing. They were apparently "export-only" bikes that somehow fell out of the distribution network.

Any idea why the serial plate might show a 2012 manufacture date? Maybe the "factory guy" just made a mistake?

.
This is very tempting.
The JL 150 seems to be a good all round bike.
I guess the same bike with a 223cc motor dropped in the frame, could be just that little bit better.
Possibly make for a more relaxed ride for the larger guys ?

So whats the all in cost for the JL 150, ie, new bike, plates & registration ?

@ the Beijingers: so Wednesday at 7? in which one of the two? I only know the one in xinyun lu so would be interested to test out the one in sanlitun south. Deal?

They make 100% rubbish in factory while the "backdoor" one assembled by "bike market guys" had better quality.

Any Chance we could make the Xiao yun lu, I am going to be there already, a friend from the states is coming for dinner at 6 and then I would already be there and can get things set up, I have a great table that is perfect for a smaller meet and greet, the big round one seats 10 easy and more cozy

This one was done by Beijing Riders and the bike was immaculate, no leaks or loose wires, I checked it out pretty close and took alot of pictures, this rig looks ready to go

Thanks for the quick reply fahni,

Is that for the larger engine JL 150 ?

I live in Weifang, a real bike friendly city.
I guess 25% of the petrol bikes have no number plates,
No number plates for any eBikes, unlike other cities.

Your Beijing "B" plate must have cost a few kuai then?

That is for the standard JH150GY-3 fresh from the factory, no mods. The Plate alone is around 300, tax is 10% of the invoiced price, the rest is insurance and service charge
