manufacturers and their distributor is sonic scooters. This model has many of the same violations, but the rear chain adjusters slip out of place and cause the rear wheel to cock and lock up against the swingarm. Many times the sprocket is torn from the wheel. Both of these models have so many violations with dot and 49 cfr it is not even funny. There is no way either model should have ever obtained dot certification & if tested in usa never would of passed. I promise you these models are a major accident just waiting to happen. I know both models just recently arrived for there distributors and I believe are still at port in long beach. Please have these bikes inspected before someone is killed!!! I am sick of these complete idiots that do not know the regulations importing this garbage. This matter requires attention as I have pictures of what happens to these wanna be motorcycles. Please take a look at these models before some kid gets killed. The sonic scooter model is a z-55 fron wangye power and the newstar scooter model is xyqh-815b from xingyue group. *Jb
