Saw these at the NEC and walked past them. Wished I'd had a look. The 250 looks ideal for commuting into Liverpool.

I'd never heard of them either, and those prices make it sound as though they are built outside the UK. But I can't see that mentioned anywhere. A possability is that they are boutght as a kit as such and assembled in the UK. They can then be advertised as built in the UK, which may help with tax purposes (I dunno).

They seem to be linked to Lifan, so possibly built by them.
