The world of chinabikes gets even more weird and confusing eh? There is a Texas in Australia but I am sure it is not the one despite that company website being in Sydney. A confused page full of colour, warnings, little information and not very well put together, just like most of the bikes!
It seems as if everyone's rich uncle is digging up the gold from the back yard or more likely finding an investor, and this stuff isn't cheap, plastics moulding alone is expensive to set up, then they are mashing these bikes into many brand names and throwing them deliriously at various markets. Ingenious Chinese entrepreneurial desire for riches coupled with a factory full of cheap hard-workers somewhere will never end in success except by attrition and in the end, will kill the market they all so desire. We (the lumpen proletarit lol) want and need cheap workman-like bikes around the world and that is where the Chinabike phenomenon comes from, not the glitzy tacky crap that is starting to take over at inflated pricing. With all this nonsense they are killing the potential goose that would have laid the golden eggs.
A few good solid engines in sound designs and then back that up with solid support and parts first, some recognisable branding - later let the 'boys' play with mods and design changes in real competition at rallys, on the tracks and the streets of the world. Otherwise the mutli-million dollar development programmes of the japs will always smash the china bikes and the cycle will go round again, cheap crap copies, defunct companies, bad reputation.
