Hi-Bird never really had a dealer network, but rather two mail-order dealers who may or might not have been one in the same-- vbikeusa and anamcycles were/are still () the dealers. I know they were trying to establish a network, but didn't seem to get around to it,and the old hbmusa.us site was left alone and never updated. Komoto-Motors was another Hi-bird offshoot brand that had its own site and was trying to find dealers, too. In fact, the 250GY Hi-bird came as either a Hi-Bird branded bike (standard forks/drum rear brake) or a Komoto-Motor branded bike for $100US more that had upside-down forks and a rear disk brake (like how Chevy trucks are with GMC trucks as the slightly "upscale" versions).
It seems that they might now have a better lineup to establish a dealer network, but as far as I know, there are probably very few existing "brick and mortar" Hi-Bird dealers, if any. I don't think they ever had, or now have enough product for a stand alone dealership. I personally would like to see, at least one day, a Shineray, Hi-Bird, and Asiawing dealership if these bikes are really as stout as they seem to be.

The "5 gallon tank" also looks suspect, in US gallons would be 19 liters, UK gallons 22,7 liters...if they're right, they've found a way of concealing that bulk very well.Jincheng Monkey JC50Q-7

30hp was a little optimistic
forchetto, here is the alibaba link if you hadn't found it already; I wonder if the chopper has a different exhaust for Europe?
