Haosen (Hawks etc.): Ask me anything
I work for RPS, the sole US importer/distributor. So if you have questions ask me, and I'll try to figure out the answer. The engineers speak Chinese, so sometimes it's not that easy.

Why such a delay in the mco or what ever you call the papers you need to get a bike registered and plated?
3 times in the last 8 years I was in the market for chinese scooter/motorcycle. The deal breaker was the papers. Twice I bought used jap over brand new chinese because the paperwork was not with the machine. The first time I bought a new chinese scooter which I was very happy with but .........the papers took two weeks to arrive after the scooter came. I have bought new jap bikes in the past I rode them home and they were plated same day or the next day after purchase. john |

In some parts of the US, the Hawk is street legal, and other parts say no. It's not so much a problem on the Chinese end as it its a problem with the US bureaucracy. Japan has had more time in the market so they are ahead in that regard.

I don't see pricing on your website. Do you only deal with distributors or do you sell retail also?

Yes, and no. The designs are basically the same but engineers have reworked various features. As an example, one of the bikes required you to use a right-handed clutch, but now you can use your left hand and have a gun in the other hand.

The website is no good. IT is working on the bandwidth issue and then we will fix it.

Power Ride Outlet also sent me the paperwork very quickly. It was everything I needed to register in Florida no questions asked.

Okay. Just got home. Here's a few questions:
1. I've heard the Hawks come with floatbowls that have screws not made to be removed. Yet, I also think I heard they have a grooved jet needle? Why would they do that? Seems like quite a few buyers have had to either get those screws drilled out so they can rejet, as their bikes were running way to lean, or order a Mikuni carb clone from ebay and replace that stock carb. I hear the stock unit is a Kehin clone, and some owners say it works well, once jetted properly. 2.Do you know if anyone from my state, Hawaii, has ordered these and got them licensed in that state? 3. Where can we buy parts such as, maybe, the body plastics, should we need them? Thanks for your comments!!

You can order parts out of Dallas, call: 972-484-9988. Within a few months, there should be a website set up for that. |

Got an answer from one of the engineers, the reason for this is the EPA, they didn't want you guys trying to modify the bike.
