CCW tha Heist

**MJH** · 07-22-2015, 04:51 PM

There are no 2014-15, the last year they imported those was 2013.
I could be wrong, however I download a list of motorcycle off the EPA website each year, I do that just to check to see who is selling what in North America. CCW has not had a certificate since 2013 for a road model.
So if you see a Misfit or a Heist for sale it be a 2013 or older, unless the EPA forgot to add them to the list, which is possible, but that is not that likely.

There are a few people selling vehicles with that 229cc OHV engine, only Bashan has a certificate for 2015 and they have a blanket one that covers both the 200 and 229cc Dual Sports, they sell those for about $1300-$1800, the Hiest is a cool motorcycle but pricey for made in China.

from 2009

I am pretty sure that dealer can only title vehicle with the year they are made and that is actually in the Vehicle Identification Tag, there is a way to check it, it is coded in there by law.

And, I understand these bikes are not legal in California, so some sellers in that state have dropped them. That's what I was told by a dealer. Since I live in Hawaii, I was looking in to someone in the San Diego area, because that is close to a company that ships motorcycle to Hawaii via their ships.

I just came back from the dealer and he has tha Heist listed and being sold as a 2015. He also has the rest of the CCW bikes there. Here is the link to the dealer here in San Antonio Texas. http://www.tmsbodacious.com/ They have some Heist still in the crate they just got in.

Something is not right I checked again and they do not have anything on the EPA list for 2015?

They also have the Ace on their website listed as a 2015 and for sale online…
The last EPA certificates are in 2013 : DCCWC.250QJC-001
It is possible that they are late entries, they do have certificates for 2016? A whole bunch!

New is 2016, but who knows?
They list the manufacturer for the Heist as Qingqi Rhon, same as it always has been, but the Misfit now has Qingqi Dalong as its OEM and Jinan Qingqi for the Ace. The Engines still all as Lifan.

If you want to verify the year...then enter the first three character off the vehicle Identification Tag on the bike here into the field named "WMI", That will bring up the files for decoding the VIN, the documents are hyperlinked tell you how to determine the year.

I looked around and the bikes look good. I am really considering buying one of the Heist. They are bigger than I though.

yeah all of them are only approved for sale in 49 states, for 2016.

Hmm, We have 2014's and 2015's here in Canada.

On another note, when I am in 3rd gear on my Heist if I roll into full throttle its like the engine bogs and I have to back off the throttle so that the bike can continue to accelerate. Is this normal given the power output of the engine? Bike is stock.

That type carburetor has an accelerator pump, it’s supposed to add more fuel when you pull the throttle. It’s the part on the side were the second cable attaches to, if you are opening the throttle it should squirt in gas, it has a spring on it I believe. It may be that I do not have one like that but they all work on the same principal a spring and tension opens and closes it.

Good to know! Thanks for the input I will check that out.
