<div><font size="2" face="Arial">Don't know if the fireflys are chinese made or
not but a big caveat to anyone considering chinese scooters, little cars etc.
The chinese will use any motor , tranny electrical system they can find and
its not uncommon to see a differant engine in a scooter thats made the next
day after yours. No quality control at all and parts are usually almost
impossible to find. In other words it might be cheap (inexpensive) but stay
away from chinese stuff if at all possible. </font></div>
