2014 powermax 150 the quality on these went way up has anyone else noticed this?
 

Wow I am astonished on how many quality issues they have corrected on the powermax. I had a 2012 it blew out light bulbs once a week from new. They have fixed that it looks like,had it on my battery charger that tells you what voltage is going into the battery stayed steady at 14.5 no spikes. They bolted the bottom to the frame the 2012 was hooked on with slats and maybe one screw. The 2012 ran very well but had wiring problems.

They even fixed the trunk 2012 hooked into bolt holes that was drilled through the alloy deck which broke off on a good bump. 2014 has a bracket special made for it.

I would like to think that the quality on ALL china scooters, bikes & ATV/UTV's is getting better. IMO, from the insane amount of hours I have spent on the Internet
reading and researching Chinese products, the ARE getting better across the board. ( I study because I have a growing financial interest in the Chinese market)

Tao Tao have stepped up their 'game' the past few years. I have been eyeballing their BWS 150 scooter.

Just noticed today they put a bracket on the back of the muffler strengthening it.

I've noticed a steady increase in quality over the last 10 years or so, in all China bikes and quads.
