Too bad it's made in china.
Sachs is a well known german company, if they shipped bikes to the USA made in germany, the madass would be probably 5-6 thousand dollars. They make the ones shipping to the USA in china to keep pricing low.
I think it's a cool bike, it's got gears like a motorcycle, but it being Chinese, I cant trust anything chinese when it's motorized and I'll be on it.

Peirspeed is Cobra which is also TGB, so any TGB dealer should be able to get 'em, if/when they finally arrive. Some were imported by Tomberlin in the past, and there's a knockoff brand called Xkelton Trickster.
Check out the sachs six-speed X-ROAD 125 minibike they're supposed to be getting, very cool looking.

It is made in China, IIRC, a chinese company actually owns the name now. I know that's the deal with Benelli and that seems to be working out well for them, though I still haven't had a chance to test-ride the Benellis or the Sachs.
