They did the same thing with motorcycles. I used to have a Honda Reflex and drove to work on it every day. Got 65 to 70 mpg and was loving it for about 2 years before I broke my hip rollerblading and the wife told me to I had to get rid of it.
At any rate, the Reflex was 250 cc and sold for $5,600 new:
And the cone, 250 cc sells for around $1,600 Sounds like a great deal right??
The cone actually looks better I think but it's beauty is skin deep. Anyone who made the mistake of buying one of these was very sorry. Out of the crate the "fluids" all have to be changed as they don't resemble what the should be. The fuel lines and fittings must be replaced or gas spills down the road as you ride. The cheap rubber valve stems must be replaced as they often fail causing a flat. All the bearings only have a small dab of grease and will soon fail. The electronic problems are never ending due to sub standard equipment and loose connections. The list goes on and on.
I would never put my health at the mercy of a Chinese made vehicle!
