It's here.

I got tired of waiting on the local delivery company so went and picked it up today.

It's in perfect condition.



Will post more as I assemble.

It's "together", still lots of work to do. But I'm really happy with it.

Quality is excellent. Plastics are much nicer than I expected, flexible. Dash is very nice. Swingarm and tires are excellent. Parts we're actually greased, of course I added more. The led blinkers look good. The front light assembly goes together much nicer and more solid than my Hawks did. Seat cover is textured and feels great.

The only cons I have:
I'm not sure if I like the front forks protectors. (Looks wise)
Swingarm stickers looked stupid, but came off very easily. The blue eagle is embroidered, which is a nice quality touch, but it says blue eagle, lol.

Jeff and peacesports were excellent. MCO and bill of sale were shipped with the bike. Very responsive and shipped within hours.



Will keep you posted on how it goes.

I ended up putting the front guards on, I like them fine.

Tomorrow I will change the fluids, adjust valves, and tighten the chain. Then I will see how she rides and start the break in.

The Brozz looks great. Hats off to Jeff with peacesports for bringing back a better Brozz.

Hell yeah!! The decision is so hard between this one and the Apollo! I can pretty much get them both the same price.

I don't think you can go wrong with either. Brozz better for road from factory, Apollo better for offroad IMO.

6. Better suspension, guage cluster, and qaulity over hawk. (Not knocking the hawk, as these differences come at a cost)
7. Much better price than CSC.
8. Reputation of Bashan's quality
9. Counter balanced Zongshen engine. (Not a deal breaker: just my hawk vibrated and buzzed quite a bit, not intrusively, just annoyingly).

Those are my main deciding factors.
I am not sure if the engine is made by Zongshen but the balance version should be nicer etc.

Also if I might add I am working on making the same dash for all the bikes like the Hawk etc and it will be more universal in programming etc.

Enjoy the ride mate

Is that an Alloy swing arm? looks better then Hawk etc.
So a quick look at your pics and I see the following that are already nicer:

Rear Swing arm and adjusters
Dash
Counter balance engine
Head light cover with carbon fiber look
Already has the gear indicators
USD/heavier front forks and that comes with a stronger hub and I even think a bigger better brake like the TT250.

How much was this bike? what is the warranty?

Saw a guy online who bought the slightly more basic Tao Tao TBR7 was $1300 to his door
California legal as it’s stated and clearly marked as 50 states legal
Smaller wheels and rear drum brake but pretty much everything else the same
