Tried login onto Vbike web site........account has been suspended......I really love the look and price of these machines but I always wonder how long cutomer support will be around???? I looked at Jetmoto and their 250 looks almost identical to the Vbike except it lists for quite a bit more. Any comments on both machines. I've been considering buying a china quad just to see how they are. The Vbike is under $1300.00 which seems like a bargain but the web site suspension makes me nervous.

Vbikes number is 1-888-847-4940. You could call Tim there and ask him why the site was down. I just checked it and I was able to bring the site up on my system.

A late welcome to the forum Sandman2.0! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Looks can be very deceiving when comparing Chinese quads. Im not sure where Vbike gets the parts they have assembled to make their quads. Jetmoto on the other hand uses a few components made in either Taiwan or Japan. Items like wiring harness's, ignition components, Wheel bearings, pivot bearings are not made in China.

Just to add to mywifesquad's post the Cheaper Vbike 250 is different from the Jet 250. The rear suspension set up is different and the Jet has an engine oil cooler.

Actually sand man I would do a search on both bikes,Jetmoto and vbike.These two seem as of late to be the chinese bike of choice on this forum.There is plenty to read on both bikes.Sawyer is correct.there is one or two that has had problems with the rear swing arm breaking on the jetmotos but I think they may be working on that.

This is the Jetmoto rear swing arm assembly

I can't seem to get the jet swing arm picture to link. But anyway go take a look its a stronger set up in my opinion.
