Which dealer to go through

[GbgMan]

Hi,
I’ve been doing some research into Chinese bikes and Im now ready to buy one. Now I just can’t decide which dealer to go through. Right now I’m looking at powersportsmax, txpowersports, and Orion powersports. It seems like most people order from powersportsmax or txpowersports, and lots of people seem to have issues with both of them. Orion has a much more legit seeming website which makes me more inclined to buy from them but I’m not sure if it will be any better of an experience. Any input here? I’m ready to pull the trigger as soon as I decided which dealer to pull the trigger at haha

Welcome aboard! It's going to depend on what bike you are looing to buy.

I’m getting a hawk250. Orion, txpowersports, and powersportsmax all have it listed as in stock so I guess I’m wondering which one will have the fastest shipping/mco processing and also be the least likely to blow me off if I have any issues.

I would go with Powersportsmax or Orion.

Powersportsmax supports this site, and there seem to be happy customers among our members. Orion probably has better customer support because Powersportsmax is large and some members have reported it being sometimes difficult to get hold of them whereas members have reported getting hold of Orion more often. I do kind of like how Powersportsmax puts their own branding on many of the products they carry, so one does not simply get a Hawk, one gets a X-Pro Hawk with special graphics and all. Funny enough, I saw a comparison video where a guy bought a Baodiao Vader off a random vendor, and his sister wanted one, so they ordered a X-pro Baodiao Vader, and he felt there were a few details with bolts and whatnot where he felt the X-Pro was slightly 'better' than his own Vader. Orion fully assembles the bikes they sell (not sure if Powersportsmax does this but I believe they offer it as an option for extra $) which is smart on their part because it reduces issues like missing or broken bits and bobs, and they do test fire the bikes as well. I know that some like doing it ALL themselves, but I know I am lazy and would rather go over a fully assembled bike than assembling one out of a crate.

Please read through my posts. There is no way I would buy from Powersportsmax.

I went through Amazon via Pro Sport, best price and so far excellent shipping communication and paperwork has already arrived. Bike arrives Thursday so we shall see
