No its a 2012 taotao ATM50 or something like that. Havnt used it in about a year. Been going through fixing it up getting ready to sell it. This is the last problem besides tthe front brakes the line was bad replaced it but cant get it to bleed for the life of me. Will probably let it go without bleeding the brakes but eant to fix the shocks at least.
