They look really good...
But a bit of digging suggests a Chinese manufacturer;
trikes
If they're anything like the Chinese mopeds you find on Ebay they will last about a week before falling apart. And at 5K it's not the
disposable money that most people can spend on mopeds.
Edit: Looks like he might be looking to make a decent profit considering the list price;

That's the FOB price he has still to get them here and clear customs - on the face of it he is making a loss unless he negociated a better deal
You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a

"I am a private seller so I am not in a postion to offer a warranty with these items."
So, no worries there then.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

I like how they are displayed as - 'brilliant', 'cool' 'radically awesome' and 'amazing'.
I have seen these at an importer in Germany, they are awful and cost nowhere near the money he is asking!

How far did you have to dig ? I read "Manufacturer Zhenhua" in the listing and it gave me a clue straight away  Powered by the Zongshen
water cooled 250cc single engine only went on to reinforce my suspicions. 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Ah, missed the manufacturer bit! I've seen that Zongshen engine used elsewhere though, so I wasn't 100%.

I think at least they look pretty good, most trikes designs are appalling, take a look at the morgan for a prime example, hideous

Steer clear of anything this cheap and made in China, terrible quality, looks okay, but I had a Quadzilla 500cc Buggy, it was shite, the engine had
done 190 miles and was shagged, CVT gearbox should have been fine, but was dreadful, Welding was dangerous, was atrocious to drive. I paid £4000 for
it almost new, it lost £1000 in 3 weeks.
Chinese stuff is very rarely supported by any motorbike importer in the UK, I couldn't even get common sense from Quadzilla the UK importer for
what was essentially a Kandi chinese poo heap :-)
oooooo 74 MPH
Mine does 74 MPH in first gear
It's not that i'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.....

Not too sure about the red one in the photo, but in the flesh the Morgan is a stunner.

I agree! I think SDH could have picked a better example of the breed, but yes... they are the dogs!

Me too, I'd happily have one and enjoy driving it. Looked like a hoot when Hammond had it sideways on TG a while back.

I think its got nice lines, its not my cup of tea really, but its defo not hideous. What is hideous is a reverse trike trying to be something its
not, a chinese low powered death trap already built and ready to go, its Awesome....hmmmmmmmm Nah, will stick to my TR1KE, that's awesome to
drive, but its not all about speed for me, 50% of my enjoyment is other people admiring it. The chinese thing looks fast but isnt.....
The only bonus is it has a reverse, my Quadzilla had a reverse, it was still a bag of spanners.
It's not that i'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.....
