You know I think the quality of the Chinese bikes has gotten a lot better. A friend of mine owns a motorcycle repair shop and he has been getting a lot of the Chinese bikes, and as a general rule they hold up pretty well, not much mechanical mostly electrical. I think they want to keep the American market and if they just build junk the market would just dry up. For the cost of the products, I think it is fair. If Honda still built the bike it would cost well over two grand, no one will pay that and that is why they don't have them any more. It is a 4 stroke and they ran well and make a cool sound, they have a lot of potential to be modified to do over 40 mph. The brakes worked good and lastly they were fun. If I'm not mistaken the Honda was the only one that was a 4 stroke in all those years. There is a little lever that you flip and then you can just pedal. I think it is an OK bike, and with the cost of gas we will probably start to see more of this type of machine running around. I know here in LA I see a lot of motorcycles now, but most of the riders are nuts, and we have a death almost 1 a day. The mentality of a MoPed is different and would not be ridden so wildly, or at least I would like to think so. I don't take the Happy Time bikes seriously, they are just for fun, but they are a good value for what they are. I also think that we will see some competition for this new Lazer. Have fun, Dave
