Yes! Rato moto!!!

It says the company started in 2007, just as the rulers of Guangzhou decided that 320,000 motorcycles were to be confiscated and scrapped due to a ban on motorcycles in the city. This ban includes electric bikes as well. I would have thought this sort of thing would be very bad for a home industry.

Other cities are to follow, I understand...

Still, Chairman Mr. Zhu Liedong, an "intelligent, attractive and strong enterprising leader" must know what he's doing.

Yes, in China, so many city don't allow the motorcycle riding on the road, because that is dangerous to have traffic acciedent(because china has so many many many people, and cars), so in China, most motorcycle are sold to country side, not like Europe, they can ride the motocycle on the high way. So that is why China export so many motorycle outside.

You could keep a couple of bikes running with all the spares.

Rato--what certification do you have? Mainly, do you have US EPA? Some US states don't need DOT, just EPA for street registration.
