Every gasoline engine is supposed to be EPA certified. As far as whole bikes go, they are either on-road or off-road, and my guess is, the same is true of replacement engines. This engine, and I am assuming it is not EPA certified, is not supposed to be shipped here. It might make it through, but if enough people order them, eventually they run the risk of confiscation. They are shipped directly from China, so there is no risk for the seller, only the buyer. My post is just an fyi and individual circumstances probably will vary (i.e. some making it through)

If inspector gets it , or doesn't . Kinda of a gamble . If it happens to go up for inspection and not on the database and gets rejected, then what happens? Does our government have to destroy? Do they ship it back?
