Hi,
I know that the Knight is technically not a "scooter", yet it uses the
same 49cc 4 stroke Honda based 'moped' engine. You probably know it
from the Honda Dax 50 (70) and Monkey, the Pandas etc.
In case you don't know what I am talking about, here's a link to some
pictures:
http://www.bikepics.com/jincheng/jc50q8/01/pics.asp

Apparently there are very few of this Honda Magna look alikes out
there on the road. They seem to be sold world wide, I saw references
for NL, DK, D, even PL and here in the U.S.A.

Is any other owner of a Jin Cheng Knight reading this group?
I'd like to get in contact with them, to exchange thoughts, ideas and
also support in case of any trouble.

I am very happy with this mini motor cycle, after some initial trouble
when it was shipped damaged to my home. I now use it to commute to
work frequently. While not very strong (especially in altitudes above
5000ft) it can reach about 45mph and will get 90 miles per gallon,
ideal in these times of ever increasing gas prices.
Plus it gets more looks in parking lots than many 'hogs', since no one
seems to ever have seen one of them. Not that I need the attention,
but it is fun to see people smile and ask if it is still 'on milk'
8-)

So where are the "Knight Riders"?
Drop me a line please - thanks!

michael

Hey I have an 05 model of it and it does but I'm having problems with it holding anything over 30mph not to mention I can't find any replacement parts. Other than that I love this little bike.
