Is there any review of the bike out on internet?

No, not that i can find, But you can get a review for the engine. Search for Yinyang Engine 170mm.
The carburetor seams to have an electrical controlled choke!!

Its sales from FOB USD1900 Plus as its changes, got a quote from Zhejiang Jiajue Motorcycle Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Why would you be getting quotes for shipping to the USA if you reside in Africa?

i only have limited experience in trading.
fob doesn't include shipping cost right? quoted in USD doesn't mean shipping to US.

[Deom2i]

No, the quote for shipping to Africa not USA and the model is also different. For USA its upgraded version with front LED and other new features.

Oh! Now i get it
USD is United State Dollar is the medium of exchange since RMB is for China and Tsh Is Tanzanian (Africa) currency. So to have a mutual understanding of currency rates we use USD!!

FOB is Free on board meaning:
This pricing term indicates that the cost of the goods, including all transportation and insurance costs from the manufacturer to the port of departure, as well as the costs of loading the vessel are readfiled in the quoted price.
This means that the buyer has to bear all costs and risks of loss of or damage to the goods from that point. The FOB term requires the seller to clear the goods for export.

CIF means Cost, insurance and freight" means that the seller delivers when the goods pass the ship's rail in the port of shipment. The seller must pay the costs and freight necessary to bring the goods to the named port of destination but the risk of loss of or damage to the goods, as well as any additional costs due to events occurring after the time of delivery, are transferred from the seller to the buyer

Oh I misunderstood, FOB typically is followed by a port, it represent were the cost obligation of the supplier ends.

So for $1900 they will get it to a port in china?

Then you would have to pay for an export agent to get it to Tanzania and through customs there. That price is high and if you add all the additional cost you could end up paying over $3,000 USD for it, plus the import tax in Tanzania is the CIF plus 20%.

I thought about importing a single bike, but I won’t because of the regulations, without an agent assigned as the importer/distributor/agent of process, the bikes cannot be legally registered in the USA.

I personally believe that all the imports should be required by law to have digital files that support them, for example online parts diagrams and parts lists as well as technical service manuals.

The big issue is that of “what if” as in what if it is a real lemon and in that even dangerous to ride? So that is why the authorities want them registered and in that manufactures and their distributors assume the responsibility and in that the liability. They are required to keep track of what they sell and flag any faults they see coming back as service reports from dealers and in that take corrective actions.

I like the bike…..I would like an all black one with no decals…but I also want somebody standing behind it for legitimate support.

They often do not offer these motorcycles with legitimate support because people will take it without support if they can get it for less…it never ends.

Then behind all this is factories working people to death, sleep deprived under trained, under supervised…you end up getting loose bolts and bad welds and worse yet poor metals that are either to brittle, too soft or machined with wide variances.

All that can be addressed and so can the systems supporting them…but it cost money and in that the prices go up…actually that is a fallacy because the opportunity losses are much higher. Getting it right and keeping it all straight is what builds a reputation. In that it all has to be mapped out and never disconnected.

From the supply line to the consumer has to be monitored and with information systems it is only a matter of process,. It is all data in streams and in controlling data you attain efficiency and control costs.

Store the data online and link it.
