You might be stuck with your dealer, however, if they are too close geographically, as that is what many distributors do--give dealers territories. I don't think it could hurt to ask, however.

I should add, I recently saw a Grom that someone had swapped the stock engine for a ZS190, in the L.A. Craigslist with an asking price of $6k. Not that that is what it is worth, or will sell for, but I do think getting closer to $3k is a little pricey vs. buying a ZS190 from Pitster and installing it in a Boom Vader (or their other minis whose names I forget,) Taotao Hellcat, SSR Razkull, or Ice Bear Fuerza or Ice Bear Little Monster. But, all the work has been done for you, and with Pitster's reputation, should be a good package overall vs. retro-installing a ZS190 into one of the above.

Being curious about this and the fact that I'm lazy and still haven't installed my 190cc...

Called Pitster Pro (not the dealership but the main company). Phone number listed on the main website.

This bike will be EPA approved and NOT CARB approved (for now). When you get the bike, you'll get a Bill of Sale and MCO. You then follow whatever procedures are in your state for getting it registered.

Current sale date is sometime in June.

So... Like Culcune said... you get the Pitster Pro quality and already fitted with the 190cc. Would not be a bad purchase at all. And I believe the bike will register as a "Pitster Pro" and not a Baodaio, Daix, or Taotao. So that's kind of a bonus as well.
