Taotao engines
Got an email from VMC motorcycle parts saying they will be selling engines made by Taotao. Just 50 cc to 125cc for now. That gives us another option for replacement engines. Judging from my experience with their CG engines, quality appears to be very good.

Taotao has stepped up their game the past few years. Heck, most any Chinese motorcycle engine is quite bulletproof. Any complaints on other forums or youtube are probably people who broke in their scooter or kid's ATV on the shipping oil

motors
TAO TAO does not make the engine... the brand that they used is the number 4 engine in China.... ZHONGSHEN is number 1 ... loncin and lifan is 2 & 3 ,... then the brand TAO TAO and many others use... it says TZ152FMH180171373 on the motor where the serial number is , The TZ is the brand for the motor... almost all the brands of atv use this one..... the other brands cost motor.... I know this from when I imported a couple of containers,, supplier ask me what motor and told me the extra charge for the motors.... $20.00 for the ZHONGSHEN motor... adds up when you order a 40 ft HQ with about 150 units..... depends on the size of atv... 110 B OR 150 and bigger....... the big problem in th e motors to last is .... the brand of carbs ,,, and adjust the valves on your engines before you give them tot he customer... should be a PDI adjustment ,,, and redo them every year..... saves a lot of bent valves...

Difference per engine prices isn’t much but importers of stuff don’t want to outlay the extra resulting in lower quality being sold
Kinda a catch 22 really as all CB CG engines are not that expensive to buy but the business outlet gets to be expensive per container I can DHL an engine for around $300 tho and works out competitive to the retail price in the USA when compared to the CB motors and I can supply a true 249cc 71.5mm piston by 61.4mm stroke engine giving 15kw and 18 Nm which is the latest type Regardless of engine shipping ordering sending etc all is pretty much the same |

Around 33Kg for the air cooled motors in their box So the best YES I can get and can give you Or simply separate the head and barrel then it is just engine parts not an engine lol - sometimes you just gotta be creative. |
