The Chinese might as well sell their vehicles over here...They've seemingly got every other consumer market locked up.
That is what they are hoping for (or should be). The only problem is that if everything is fally-aparty then people will stop buying it. The Scooters they sell are incredibly cheap for new vehicles but some of the reviews of them range from "they are useless because they don't work" to "its cool that they don't work because I like to fix things and make them work"
So, if they could put together a motorised bicycle like the one above that worked with minimal puttering, then they would clean up. I also think they need to go four stroke. People now just do not want to be bothered with adding oil to fuel in the proper ratio. Plus they have to remember to start out by following a fairly strict "break in procedure" of adding more oil to the fuel than normal and driving at max rpms (I think that is how it goes with two strokes...its been a while for me). Plus seeing the layout of the thing I predict it will have leaky fuel lines. Not a problem for someone with a garage but a big problem for me in my apartment.
