I have some questions:
- Seat height, can you lower it and how.
- Is it legal in Tennessee, assume you get some paperwork to register it.
- The Hawk is $360 cheaper than the Pro Bozz 250.
- Do these bikes have rear drum or disk? I read and see different specs.

I am debating to buy a RPS Hawk or Pro Bozz 250. The price difference is about $360 (Pro Bozz more expensive)... look very similar, except the instruments, inverted front struts and fake carbon fiber panel accents. I like to get rear disk, but some have drum (may be all have drum).

Seat height. I am 5'7". I have been riding motorcycles for almost 40 years with a 15 year break in the middle. I am use to tippy toe on bikes. I currently have a BMW R1150RT which I modified seat, I can't flat foot both feet,... but it's doable. Can I lower this. I guess I can move front forks up in triple clamp, cut the rear shock spring and take out padding in seat (although it looks minimal now). I know the "Magician" has a lower seat height, but not digging on the looks.

Is there issues getting these licensed.

I went to Vietnam and Thailand and love the little scooters. That is what got me into looking at China bikes. I want a small bike to take to the store or back up vehicle, may be have some light trail or dirt road riding.
