There is hit or miss--the two 2017 Jiajue 150s VINs I provided ( LLPTGKBC0G1A20002 and LLPTGKDA8C1A16771) came up sound, like the Yamaha's VIN. The 2017 jiajue 50s VIN I provided (LLPVGBNA4E1H00002) had some vagueness to it, but the NHTSA site stated that it corrected where it thought there was an error and the brand came up clean as well. Hence my 'hit or miss' comment. The NHTSA site also states to put in a model year, so for all three VINs above, I manually put in 2017 and all worked; the 50cc which the NHTSA site stated that it corrected ended up working. Keep in mind that if a model does not change, the certificates are only renewed and not started from scratch. There are bikes that have been in production for years, so that might add to the confusion for the VINs as they are sample VINs according the the EPA site. My suggestion since you don't seem too pleased with my findings is to go through the EPA certification EXCEL sheets from the link I provided and figure it out yourself.
