I do think though that the Rhino is closer to a real 250cc (I thinks its a 230) than the ATA. My motor is a 200cc. Plus the ATA is setup with a larger front sprocket and smaller chain. I hear the Rhino uses a 12t front with a 528 chain??? My ATA came with a 14t front, 40t back with 428 chain. Its now a 13t front.
I'll get a seat measure on it later, now that we're all curious. My CB guy in Sac told me that Tao Tao raised all their "full sized" quads after last year so maybe yours was parked next to an older model year??

I was SHOCKED when I uncrated it and saw the 520 chain. Yah, it's a 12t on the front...which has left us kinda hosed for finding a rear sprocket to slow the dang thing down and help make first gear a granny. JT Sprockets finally emailed me back and said "No can help". I bought it for working around the property, not doing 50 mph up my road. I don't think I've even seen 3rd gear yet.

Also, my Rhino has a 167FMM in it...which is the 250 class but it's a 229/230.
