Wonder not..........Just know your fears is slowly becoming a reality.....Back in 08 I was able to get parts for almost any pocketbike made......Now almost all of those parts are sold out without any replacements in sight...................Makes me wonder if parts will be hard to get in the future like a new bike is now
Youre gonna need a wholesalers and importers license with a business name to purchase those bikes...I had one under International Resources LLC but the EPA wouldnt allow me to take posession without dismantling them and selling them for parts requiring me to file for a dismantlers license/reg. cert. but was denied..If you decide to try getting the proper documentation Id check beforehand to make sure youre able to accept shipment without any EPA involvement and for the money youll pay you might aswell branch out and buy international items for rich people and charge them for the service..........Thats the only way I could find getting a return for the money I wasted..........Italian art/furniture goes fastThe weird thing is, you can still find the chinese makes, like it you go through made-in-china.com or alibaba.com
They still list them, it's just ordering them and getting them freighted. they're usually around 250 a bike with 5-10 bike minimum.
i'd gladly but a couple. if some others wanted to, i'd be down to get 2 bikes.

^that one says watercooled but im pretty sure it's not
or $150 per unit @ 20unit minimum i'd get like 3 but then the issue would get shipping them and all that mess.

none of those are watercooledFound one U.S. site with some today. http://www.fancyscooters.com/category0002-mini-motorcycles.html
If I was going to go for a Euro watercooled bike i'd go for a DM or BZM.Besides, with the current market on euro bikes, your better off finding a used euro than getting 2-3 china w/c bikes... I can go pick up a running Blata/GRC/Polini for 400-600$ bucks anytime... just new parts are still very expensive.
the DM's are pretty sweet but much harder to get a hold of... BZM only makes motors and accessories, not whole bikes. I'm sure they would be pretty awesome if they did... Their L/C motors baseline price around 1200$ US and go all the way up to 3000$. I like the Pasini's aswell... they are rare too though :/.If I was going to go for a Euro watercooled bike i'd go for a DM or BZM.
