Geely is offering some interesting retro styled scooters.

Went to Geely motorcycles down in lower Zhejiang in Taizhou, it was 18 months ago. I posted about it at the time on MCM. Sorry to say but the products were far from quality, the assembly line was surrounded by lots of bikes in various states of assembly, frames were stacked at one end, and that allowed me and a mate to check out the welding... fair to poor. When I visited CFMoto unannounced, the two factories and facilities were chalk and cheese.
Geely like many manufacturers put together nice looking pictures of products that often differ in quality compared to real tactile products, photoshop is a highly regarded product with a cult following in China IMO.
I will never buy any Geely bike... YMMV.

However, it should be acknowledged that their website has become, shall I say - normal. A few years ago, only a true masochist could browse it more than five minutes.
What drew my attention, is model JL150-14, underbone a-la Honda Sonic/Yamaha Spark/Suzuki Satria, with "vertical engine". As expected, this is CG clone.

Somehow, among C-motos, these underbones are not as frequent as those with a horizontal engine. Apart from this Geely, I know only for Lifan LF 125-26D - http://www.zr.ru/a/88501Last edited by Zorge; 09-17-2012 at 11:43 AM. Reason: Added link

Geely Group has its work cut out for them, their global site contains a section; Brands and Products.
That section does not cover all the brands and products that they manufacture as a group, the scooters seem like a step child the two wheeled division stands detached. Its not only that, their chosen brand names are….or come off as childish, for lack of a better term. Gleagle, Emgrand, Englon even Geely all seem to be sort of a play on English words. The other brands are listed on the Chinese site though, under a section titled Marketing Center. But still nothing about the scooters.
Most likely are aware that Geely acquired Volvo Automobile from Ford in 2010.
Here is some links on that and its progression/digression.

Sort of a play or not, but "Emgrand" EC7 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5I2nvg1zTY ) is best selling Chinese sedan in Russia.
Back to the bikes.
O how nice it would be that this is not "Photoshop": allegedly, "Geely" JL 200-2.

I see the QJ 4 valve 200cc in that image...
They only added a few things, they added a larger fairing and and some fake trellis, kind of looks like what they do on the UM X-Street.Last edited by MJH; 02-06-2015 at 05:18 PM.
