Welcome to the forums Smith58.

It's a scam. Do not buy an atv from them.

Pretty common way for someone in a foreign country to separate you from your money and leave you with nothing.

Hello and welcome.
Remember what we all know: if it sounds to good to be true......
I just purchased a 400 BMS from County Motor Sports from the internet. It also sounded to good to be true but i did it anyway. What a mistake. This company, County Motor Sports has given me nothing but headaches over their "customer service" after the sale. They won't answer emails or voice mails concerning out of the box problems. ie. electric shift doesn't work and the display shuts off. If I had it to do again I would buy a name brand locally and have a chance at after sale service, even tho I would spend a lot more. Also remember: "you get what you pay for"!!
Good luck.
Ike

Looks like wonderful Chinese knockoffs. Avoid Chinese quads like the plague unless you're a really talented mechanic.
