China ZB's

Does any Chinese company manufacture ZB knock offs?

It seems kind of hard to come by an actual ZB so completely rebuilding a knockoff (if they exist) would be the next best thing..

Re: China ZB's

Hi i I live in the Netherlands and I ride a knock off ZB.
If you decide to buy one safe money for all the inferior parts you will need to change.
Start with the head stock bearings, mine broke got stuck mid corner @ 40 mph, near death experience!
Change all bearings, chain, oil, disc, pads, electric system especially the CDI, swing arm, front fork, you should be about there. Mine has had a lot of changing done and runs very sweetly for over 3000 miles now.

Good luck

Re: China ZB's

Does skyteam have a website, I found some Canadian one that sells regular pitbikes..
Is there some sort of online company I can purchase a brand new one from?
