    From what I understand the Megelli has the SYM engine, which offer more hp. I believe the PZ30 is very inexpensive and easy to get in china and why it is chosen where as with the SYM engine they choose a different carburetor.

    The engine is also in the SYM T2, however that model is heavy for the small engine. The trellis frame of the Megelli is intended to lighten the weight if engineered correctly it offers less weight and better rigidity if done correctly.

    Altering and engine configuration from stock is illegal in all countries with emissions standards, unless for racing purposes. The governments do not regulate emissions on race vehicles, so selling or altering vehicles from stock intending to be ridden on public streets is illegal. The only reason the components are sold to alter engines is for racing and those blatantly offering alterations for vehicle not intended to be driven off the street and in or for racing run the risk of heavy fines for doing so.

    The fines are severe and retroactive per each instance or alteration sold.

    So in the case of alterations to the engine on the Shineray it is a or would be intended for motocross, however that model comes in a form not street legal, it is sold stock without street legal equipment. Models sold that have only a street legal form have no defense at all for offering the alterations and would have no chance defending doing so in a civil case.

    The cheap slip on exhaust is not intended to be sold for use on a street legal motorcycle, neither is all the rest…advertising or promoting the “mods” is foolish if not offering performance equipment for racing.
