Of course, pretty much everything is made in China these days, but there's a world of difference between bikes built for export and bikes built for the Chinese domestic market. The Riders Super Cub has all the hallmarks of the latter - none of the better Chinese brands (e.g. Sinnis) allow you to just buy a container-load of bikes and flog them on like Del Boy. Anyone who does can't be too concerned with the good name of their brand, as they clearly don't care about what sort of support you propose to offer the purchasers of your bikes once you've sold your container full and disappeared (like most Chinese bike dealers did in the early 2000s).

...and despite the amount of debate you and I have had on the subject of Chinese bikes across various forums Jaz, that's the fundamental point that we both agree on.

With a (notionally spare) grand of my hard earned cash I'd happily buy a used 12v Cub or a new Wuyang or Keeway Partner... but not one of these...yet...until they've been proven.

That said, great photos and it does look nice enough. :D

And I can't understand why, at this price, no one has come forward with a review!

You can see it's an exact C90M copy from the pics. Any 12 Honda or generic Chinese would fit straight in.

Sadly crammy I think you guess right. I noticed it on a Greece forum (while checking out sena1 project) ..... don't know if it's available in Greece?
