Jin Cheng Knight (JC 50 Q-8) owners anywhere?

[michael walter]

Hi,
I know that the Knight is technically not a "scooter", yet it uses the
same 49cc 4 stroke Honda based 'moped' engine. You probably know it
from the Honda Dax 50 (70) and Monkey, the Pandas etc.
In case you don't know what I am talking about, here's a link to some
pictures:
http://www.bikepics.com/jincheng/jc50q8/01/pics.asp

Apparently there are very few of this Honda Magna look alikes out
there on the road. They seem to be sold world wide, I saw references
for NL, DK, D, even PL and here in the U.S.A.

Is any other owner of a Jin Cheng Knight reading this group?
I'd like to get in contact with them, to exchange thoughts, ideas and
also support in case of any trouble.

I am very happy with this mini motor cycle, after some initial trouble
when it was shipped damaged to my home. I now use it to commute to
work frequently. While not very strong (especially in altitudes above
5000ft) it can reach about 45mph and will get 90 miles per gallon,
ideal in these times of ever increasing gas prices.
Plus it gets more looks in parking lots than many 'hogs', since no one
seems to ever have seen one of them. Not that I need the attention,
but it is fun to see people smile and ask if it is still 'on milk'
8-)

So where are the "Knight Riders"?
Drop me a line please - thanks!

Miki

NOTE that the original post is this thread was dated in 2005 --
FOURTEEN YEARS ago. You are apparently replying to your own reply from last
fall.

I suspect the original poster may be long gone by now, or at least, no
longer has that vehicle.

13 digits doesn't map to any subpart of a modern VIN (if it were
missing the manufacturer code, it would be 14 digits long, if it were
missing the serial number for North America it would be either 14 [NA
<2000] or 11 [NA >2000] digits long.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_identification_number#Components



13 digits may have been used before 1981
https://itstillruns.com/decode-13-digit-vin-number-8487228.html



https://www.blasterforum.com/threads/need-help-with-13digit-vin-number-please.13356/
suggests that China tends to be lazy and not put a 0000 at the end of the
VIN for small stuff -- however, since the last part of the VIN is often a
serial number, that would mean that they have stuff with identical serial
numbers.
