It is almost an exact copy of the honda helix. Rolling lazy boy. Parts are easy to find. Would make a great commuter. Top speed about 70mph. 70mpg.

Is it running? $1000 seems alittle high for a nonrunner. CFMoto had alittle better quality control than other Chinese manufacturers.

I have seen Honda Helixs for a $1000 that ran.

well i know its not running and he wants 800bucks for it i mite try to get him to go lower like 500 all i can do is try

I think that if you could get it for under $500-600 if would be a deal. $800 would be the max for a non runner. Likely its going to need a carb clean and a battery to make it run. Replacement carbs are pretty cheap and may be easier than trying to clean one.

Also depends title status. I wouldn't get too concerned over miles.

is it a liquid cooled 250, just like the Helix / Elite?
