I think the quality will be too low, but hopefully that will lead to demand for a better quality bike. Better quality replacement parts are probably available al la honda wave , yamaha sniper/spark/t135 , suzuki raider. Many people have said we'd never see this type of bike in the US. I'm glad they were wrong. More options for the American rider! Rob

I don't know it will be low quality. Sym sells one that looks very similar, the motor is probably a linhai honda clone and that is what Fly was using in the Scout. I think it has a real chance to be a good one. Not that I have never been wrong before, I am an eternal optimist though.
here's to hoping.

I only know that so far my Bashan versions at 50cc have been trouble free after a year. Now mine don't have alot of miles but what something like this will do is put a useful, honest 50+ mph Chinese two wheeler on the road.

that is a great looking little cub clone, sadly it is yet another that is not CARB approved
I think I like the styling on the wildfire better.

I also like the regular forks and extra 15cc on the Wildfire. Although I can't help but wonder if these guys got their hands on Flyscooter Scouts and are selling them at fire sale prices. They look darn close.

Not only is the fork a better design, it has a front disk brake too as well as the extra cubes.
Fly was having it done to their specs, I'm sure that when they told the supplier they were closing, the supplier was only too happy to sell to another buyer.

Kind of looks like full dressed moped from Sigon in the 60's ?
