any body seen this on ebay

Reverse Trike 250cc (1 of 2 available) | eBay

They look really good...

But a bit of digging suggests a Chinese manufacturer;

trikes

If they're anything like the Chinese mopeds you find on Ebay they will last about a week before falling apart. And at 5K it's not the disposable money that most people can spend on mopeds.

Edit: Looks like he might be looking to make a decent profit considering the list price;

That's the FOB price he has still to get them here and clear customs - on the face of it he is making a loss unless he negociated a better deal

"I am a private seller so I am not in a postion to offer a warranty with these items."

So, no worries there then.

I like how they are displayed as - 'brilliant', 'cool' 'radically awesome' and 'amazing'.

I have seen these at an importer in Germany, they are awful and cost nowhere near the money he is asking!

How far did you have to dig ? I read "Manufacturer Zhenhua" in the listing and it gave me a clue straight away Powered by the Zongshen water cooled 250cc single engine only went on to reinforce my suspicions.

That motor will make a claimed 16bhp...

I think at least they look pretty good, most trikes designs are appalling, take a look at the morgan for a prime example, hideous

Steer clear of anything this cheap and made in China, terrible quality, looks okay, but I had a Quadzilla 500cc Buggy, it was shite, the engine had done 190 miles and was shagged, CVT gearbox should have been fine, but was dreadful, Welding was dangerous, was atrocious to drive. I paid £4000 for it almost new, it lost £1000 in 3 weeks.

Chinese stuff is very rarely supported by any motorbike importer in the UK, I couldn't even get common sense from Quadzilla the UK importer for what was essentially a Kandi chinese poo heap :-)

oooooo 74 MPH


Mine does 74 MPH in first gear

... and I think the purchaser of these abominations is trying to cut his loses as I see they're for sale as a job-lot now!

Not too sure about the red one in the photo, but in the flesh the Morgan is a stunner.

I agree! I think SDH could have picked a better example of the breed, but yes... they are the dogs!

Hideous? I think they are lovely

I think its got nice lines, its not my cup of tea really, but its defo not hideous. What is hideous is a reverse trike trying to be something its not, a chinese low powered death trap already built and ready to go, its Awesome....hmmmmmmmm Nah, will stick to my TR1KE, that's awesome to drive, but its not all about speed for me, 50% of my enjoyment is other people admiring it. The chinese thing looks fast but isnt.....

The only bonus is it has a reverse, my Quadzilla had a reverse, it was still a bag of spanners.
