The number of those who want to buy a new moped is increasing every year. A moped is a very cheap, compact and economical vehicle that is convenient for many. But the quality of mopeds varies greatly depending on the manufacturer.
Instructions
Step 1
Chinese moped sellers claim that Chinese models are of very high quality workmanship and workmanship. But common sense dictates that it is impossible to acquire new and high-quality equipment for such modest money. Indeed, the quality of Chinese mopeds is disgusting when compared to Japanese or European models. And quite good when compared with domestic samples produced in the 90s.
Step 2
It should be understood that manufacturers from China themselves differ in quality from each other. State-owned companies and large private corporations produce quality products. At least, it compares favorably with the rest of the mass of mopeds from the Middle Kingdom. But brands and models that are worth buying are only 2-3, the rest are better not to take. Consider the country of assembly of the moped. Many Russian enterprises assemble Chinese motor vehicles from kits. If the assembly is carried out at a former manufacturer of domestic motorcycles, then the build quality is not worse than in China. If a newly created enterprise, the quality can be either the same or lower. Taiwanese are considered the best in assembly.
Step 3
Some of the safest places in a Chinese moped are the engine and gearbox. As a rule, these are licensed or copied Japanese nodes produced in China for many years. The production technology is more or less worked out and at least there are no engineering errors and miscalculations in them. Less complex units and parts are of poor quality: wiring is flimsy, tires and shock absorbers are too rigid, the frame is weak, plastic parts are made of low-grade plastic masses. It is dangerous to ride such units even in full equipment.
Step 4
Experienced owners of Chinese mopeds strongly recommend that you carefully check it before the first trip, tighten all bolts, nuts and terminals, and make all possible adjustments. In other words, such a technique will be within the power of those owners who understand the device of a moped and are not lazy to check it, adjust and repair it every day.
Step 5
Particularly terrifying crafts from the Chinese motorcycle industry stop starting up the next season, the coating peels off all chrome parts, the frame bursts and the footpegs fall off. The air filter may initially be cracked or leaky, the gasoline faucet leaks, tires release air even with serviceable spools, candles fail from once a week to several times a day. In general, mopeds for the season, and until the end of the season, the device will exhaust the owner with constant, almost everyday breakdowns.
