Description says the efi is "Made in USA by Delphi Brand fuel injection system" so that's a big plus. Good place to start some research on a chip? I'm not smart enough to do that sort of thing, but it sure opens up some performance possibilities.

well Chinese guys weigh 140-160 pounds often . I'm 205 at the moment so I'm sure I would be slower than the MFG claims .

Did a little research. I believe it uses the Delphi MT05 controller system. The website has a bunch of info that I don't understand. It's in English but it might as well be a Chinese owners manual.

Just spoke with Killer Motorsports in Tx. They claim that there isn't a TBX in the US and it is out of production for redesign. I call BS on that and will check around. They also admitted that they are only a drop shipper so don't expect any PDI or service from them on any product they might sell.

wow yes I was surprised but not to much that mine said roketa mc250b roadster ,then the title read jonway 250t wich I did get fast like said I did read threads just a few years ago guys were waiting weeks even months to get the proper paper work to register them ,an like I say while its to be 2013 version an supposed to be better each year like you say I do think a lot of the parts very well could have came off others. or been laying around,i could have got the left over 2008 ,I did wonder why it was the only left over year ,he said they sold all the other years ,I have heard 2008 2011 2012 2013 ,but not the 2010 or 2009 ,long story short I got the 2013 as the price was 100 difference ,so for 1750.00 they still got 2008 ,seems strange but what do I know , 8-|I like that one ,so though the plates say 2013 ,well? ?? who knows mine could be 2011 with 2013 plates on it ,so far one thing I do like is the fact the radiator in the front since at least that time ,an these things are selling all over the world like hot cakes

I did a little searching for the TBX EFI and in the process discovered this: SUN-250cc Street Legal Bobber Chopper A. extreme scooters.bzNone of the hi-tch stuff I wanted, but it's old school like me. They make a springer version also. Bottom line is much slower, very hard ride, no storage, only one person. Upside is that I've always wanted a bobber and this is only $2,200 del. It's ordered, but I sure don't see a Scooter Professor forum for something like this. I do still have the Jonway YY250T, and a highly customized Ice Bear Trike for those days when I want a little easier ride.

speaking of trikes i seen the kits they have to make mine to a trike ,I am not convinced I want to spend near 2 times the cost of the scooter for one ,yet nice though powerride has mcr95 250cc trike made to be a trike I guess if I realy wanted one ,the price is about the same to upgrade to the kit ,as to just get a trike my figure is the upgrade wich wont look as good is about 300.00 more then just buying ,the mcr95 trike brand new ,would be about 4800.. into upgradeing mine ,the trike itself 4500.00,there costing way to much for me ,its my hope that the price will go down ,my z28 was 4500.00 a song an mint with 69000 then . miles, sorry if I don't make sence to some ,nothing better to do on a cold day ,I could see myself on the bms though one day if this jonway runs for while an does not nickle an dime me to death

My Jonway has been good to me, but only has about 500 miles. Take a look at rapidrepairpowersports.com This is a very good dealer of Ice Bear Trikes. You might be able to keep the Jonway and still have a trike. I have the Viking, a 150cc without all the plastic. I've done a little work on it. If you're really interested you'll see lots of info on the trike forum.

thank you steve I may seriously think about a kit for mine its brandnew ,at a steal it price would be great ,I am sure most have to admit there making a lot off the kits ,like a used one without tires an get my own would be great ,I think I would not like to spend more then 500.00 for a kit its probley all there worth ,but the sellers know they got people sucked in ,mostly that are not feeling so steady anymore .I think its terrible that they make that much off a kit at the exspence of ones joys in life ,

Really enjoyed my trike. It took me a few miles to learn how to ride it. Mine was stolen before I got to put 100 miles on it. It's been recovered but they are holding it in impound cause the guy claims he got it off the net and I have to go to a hearing and prove it's mine. Hope they put him in a cell with violent sex offenders. Ordered my bobber for $2K on Friday. I saw today that they have increased the price to $2,448. That's pretty close to the TBX that started this thread.

wow that's crazy it does happen someone steals it sells it on net to the one who does not know its stolen sells it cheap uses any name to sign the sales record ,does not show no real id ,an the guy who bought it was scewed,i get drivers licence # an have things notorized at bank ,that realy could be the case ,then the guy who buys it ,gets screwed couse hes got no proof ,or hes lieing one of the 2 ,hope it works out for you though,i guess the guy they got would have to prove who sold it to him whear an when ,yes the guy who claims got it on net better have evidence of the sale ,then they would get the real thief ,but if that's the case they should be able to track the seller down ,through whearever he got it on net they would have have account
