It out-Groms the Grom--150cc vertical thumper, and 5-speed manual transmission. Also, now California CARB certified, so you can theoretically take it on the freeways. It is technically 149cc, and California's DMV states that a freeway legal motorcycle has to be OVER 150cc, but I am sure you won't get hassled.
culcune never got hassled riding the kp mini from riverside California to Chattanooga Tennessee bikes did amazing in the 2400+ mile trip we had a blast check it out
Do you have to buy a new car for it is it Phil injected and my other question is it worth the money does it have the speed and torque you expectedand where did you buy yours isn't it worth buying over a dirt bikk a hhalk
Hello all, snakemanracing from Wisconsin here. LOVE my KP Mini. Bought 2 and doing diff things with each one. I have built a few Groms, I sell Honda products, and they are reliable, functional, and unfortunately EXPENSIVE. ( For a toy bike). I have also built up a Z for a friend and he spent thousands on mods and i still smoke it with only a few mods on my KPM !!! lol Anyway, I do love the Honda and Kawasaki product, ( I've ridden and road-raced them for decades), but believe me, there's plenty love left out there for Lifan and a few others !!!!!..... I sell Lifan in Shawano Wisconsin for anyone in the Midwest wanting one! But, that's NOT my reason for commenting! Having traveled to China and other Asian countries, I have seen so much in manufacturing that saying Chinese made, does not anymore mean cheap junk....You must research,research,research. Buyer beware because there IS a fair amount of garbage that comes from China that just plain sucks. I am very impressed with the Lifan fit and finish. From the plastic quality that is not brittle and thin, to the excellent paint finishes, they look great! The steel is cut and welded with precision, and when assembling machines from the crate, they take great care in packing them properly for the ride over seas. The machines need minimal prep out of the crate, and don't need any tuning or "fixing" right out of the box like I've had to do with "other" brands. I have purchased over 30 units so far, sold many of them, and the customer reviews are well over 90% rated "excellent, love it, rides and performs as expected". The reviews also include other units from Lifan that I sell which are the KP200 and KPR200. Just wait til you see the new stuff that's coming stateside in the near future from Lifan! More comments to come as I'd love to spread the word on Lifan!! I'll be in China in September, and am trying to get a Lifan factory tour, but the American VP said it may be tough to accommodate for only 2 people at this time. I'll be going to Hangzhou to the CF Moto factory, but hope to visit a few other factories for both whole units and parts/accessories. Peace ya'll, ride on n see ya round the web!
Wow! Im glad there is someone who is building the KPM :) I was thinking about the KP200 as another bike. How does it perform? I would LOVE to make a video to see how these bikes are made in china. Every and I mean EVERY Grom driver that has rode my KPM has said "Whoa!!!" when pulling on it. Ive even converted some people to get one. IF YOU CAN GET INTO THE LIFAN Factory could you PLEASE send me some pics ? AHH so much I want to type!
Brian Liebe that’s awesome I approve of the lifan kp mini we went to the warehouse in California and rode two kp minis from riverside California to Chattanooga Tennessee I love the bikes 👍👍
I still have my 1984 Honda 650 Night Hawk. Think about that as far as saving money. No comparison between Chinese clones and Japanese quality. There quality control is amazing.
I have been looking at these.I found a pretty good deal,but the colors are limited.They are including the performance exhaust now for free.I really wanted a white one with the neon rims,but most people only have black.
Just purchased a KP150mini for use in NJ. I purchased out of MD was a 168 mile trip. I now have to wait a couple of days as the MCO for NJ needs a change in the manufacturer name. Only planed mods are the LED headlight and new carb for a little more top end.
Texotic Motorsports 713.974.1908 3204 Fondren Dr Houston Texas 77063 - They will dropship, they open at 11:00am Central: Call them around then and let them know Ceasar from SmallEngineVelocity sent ya.
Have fun an be safe out there Ceasar,I believe I'd leave my stock,it'd go fast enough for me, I love the integrated turn signals in the left an right side farings,it's kool,just something I thought especially at night riding for more visibility but you know if people are paying attention to their phones even my hi-vize yellow green riding jacket only helps visibility wise so much,I can't tell you enough sitting at intersections of how many people are on their phones while I'm waiting on light to turn green
It's a 150cc, 5 speed and price is good, however you may spend the difference in repairs quickly. Groms are known to easily run 30,000 miles, some 70,000 miles. I wonder how many years this will last and will the $1600 over the Grom or $1200 over the Kawasaki be worth it IF you have buy 2 additional Lifans? Maybe the Lifan will last 30,000 as well???
@@revolutionarythoughtsofman6658 oh its slang you say? Thanks for clearing that one up for me. I was so confused. Finna=fixin=do your homework and go to school so you don't use dumb words like this.
I like the red,but some places have limited models an whst colors they come in,I'd really to get the black an green one,but I love the fire orange, sapphire blue is beautiful too
z125 is a sweet bike - if I was to get a second that might be one of the main choices. Ive also been looking at the Zuma 125 (scooter ) its so nice also.
Hey SEV! - Lifan launched some cool new accessories n parts. Check your local dealer. I bought a great looking full exhaust, anodized alum fully adjustable rear set foot pegs, luggage rack, bars, risers, and more!!! Will leave the reviews up to you, you're doing an awesome job representing the product in a non biased platform! Keep it going!
I literally just sent an email after reading this to American Lifan asking for this list and details (maybe pictures to) so I can speak about it in a video. FYI - The CEO if American Lifan is in Houston in Aug. and I am going to visit and say hello. Thanks man for the tip off because I would love some new pegs or is it only passenger pegs.
Personally even with the 2024 one I'm hoping to at least get a full exhaust for it, and either buy custom or custom myself the turn signals attached to the handle bars near the grips is just ugly wouldn't mind it much closer to the headlight assembly. And of course that rear fender is bulky and too big it's ugly. So I'd love to delete that but also keep the rear turn signals. Of course maybe a tad faster. Honestly don't mind the mph I'd want the torque down low. More power midrange. Not top speed. Just a bit quicker nothing chasing top speed. Maybe aftermarket mirrors too. And maybe maybe after a while a better clutch . Maybe engine work if I find someone who knows how to. Like a bore kit or whatever it is. If u can turn this 150 into a 200cc or something that'd be cool as hell
Don’t get me wrong the Grom has its Benefits as a purchase but the average person buying on its there first bike. 90% of the time it leads to a bigger bike. The performance is better than the grom in a lot of ways. Might was well go in with a smaller investment … kick grom but while your at it.
If it was a Automatic I would think about it. I have a 81 Honda CB750 Custom... Don't get me wrong, I love it and had one when I was 16 also.. But now.. Shifting is becoming a nuisance and the trans has been abused by previous owner.. So, How would a 6ft 4in tall guy fit on one of these? Because even on my CB750, I feel like it's a bit too small now, even tho I am the same height I was when I was 16 and riding one.
no but email sales@americanlifan.com they are super helpful when I need to know. When I got myDID chain it was when it went to the shop to get replaced so I was not involved. I know the rear sprocket is 37t stock (I am a 35t)
What about adjusting the valves? Watched a UA-cam video the other day, and it showed that you can't remove the valve cover. I was interested in these, but no thanks.
There's at least 3 bikes from China that look like that. And they have after market parts. I'd want the bigger cc bikes for the same money like the hawk and the others.
Change it within the frist 100 miles and again at 300 , then you can go for a while. This helps with the shifting if you flush out the engine of any stuff frm assembaly.
@@SmallEngineVelocity what size is the chain for that particular bike I have the yellow version with only 2000 miles on it and them stock chains are crap
Could you hook up a Grom engine to the Logan 5 speed. If so you could get the Grom engine for 600 bucks hook it up to your bike and start hooking it up with Grom parts at the end of the day you’ll have a faster Grom with a 5-speed
Uhhhhh I'd stick with the 150cc that comes with the Lifan, or upgrade to the big bore 208 kit for the Lifan. Buying a 125 cylinder from a Honda and slapping it on this baby (if it even works) would be sacrificing CCs, especially when there is a 208cc option for cheaper than a From motor
It gets over 100mpg but only has a 1.2 or 1.5 gal tank. So if you're 60 roundtrip, you got this. If it's 60 each way, probably not, but you should also look for a closer job😂
Just spend $1500 and do what I did and buy a used, well cared for street bike like my 1985 Kawasaki 650/4 CSR, now those are kinda like these scooters and the Groms, BUT FOR MEN.....
Hey! I just got a 2017 lifan for a great deal with 4 miles on it. My buddy has a grom and can find tons of aftermarket parts for his. I'm having trouble trying to fing some. Got any suggestions?
@@SmallEngineVelocity yes I am lol. His brother just got the new Honda Monkey and im still faster. I wanted to get an exhaust for mine. But if I couldn't find one I was gonna puch out the baffel and then rivit the end cap back on to make it looks stock lol thank you
Where did you buy your Lifan? I'm trying to find a dealer near me, but not having any luck. If I have to, I'll skip one in. My son wants a bike and this looks like a good every level bike
It will come in a crate and would make a sweet father and son project to put together (not a lot of stuff to do). Search my channel and you will see the KPR200 lifan and how it came in a crate and what it takes to out and out together.
@@SmallEngineVelocity that's for the mini as well? I watched your video on the KPR200. If I ever decide to get off my Ruckus, I may look into one of those myself. I don't know if I got the coordination to shift with my foot and left hand. Lol 😋. I drive tractor trailers, so I can shift a vehicle
That is the place recommended by American Lifan to purchase. Venom motorsports also sells them online. Also never get off your ruckus :) never get rid of it and keep it forever. The mini and the KPR fill in the space for longer rides with friends with bigger bikes.
@@SmallEngineVelocity I love my Ruckus. Don't think I'll ever get rid of it. But eventually I do need to graduate to something bigger for those longer commutes. Thanks for all the info. Love the videos
2 year Warranty and as long as regular shipping. Not like amazon prime fast but manageable. If you have a dealer near by it includes parts and LABOR for the first year , just parts for the second year. I’ve had misc parts replaced over the past year but minor things. I hope this helps
It’s worth EVERY penny over the Vader. Only advantage the Vader has over the mini is that it has crossover parts with the Grom and the z190 swap is available also. If you buy one let me know
Small Engine Velocity these are on amazon I’m going to buy one but should I buy from a dealer or amazon does it make a difference? Would love to have some feedback thank you
I saw you SOLD your KP 150 to someone on a Facebook site!!! - I watched ALL your videos on the KP 150 BEFORE I bought TWO NEW ones for LESS than the cost of ONE Honda Grom and I got a TWO YEAR WARRANTY on BOTH - not to mention 25 MORE CCs !! Why did you sell your KP 150??
@@SmallEngineVelocity I am SO sorry to hear about your injury and trade. I put off road tires on my KP 150s and that will be about 90% of the riding I will do with them because I have a 600CC Honda Silverwing AUTOMATIC SCOOTER and a 700CC Honda CTX AUTOMATIC Motorcycle for STREET riding. I also have a Yamaha TW200 for Off Road riding as well. Take care and I will keep track of you to see what you acquire as well as tips you bring to UA-cam 😉👍
@@SmallEngineVelocity Yeah dude, you were just geeking out for a bit because you got a little broken arm. You would have eventually got your confidence up again and would want to ride again. Plus how did you crash? What happened, maybe I can be the head of the situation if I ever end up in a similar crash you got in
Depends on the state. Example , Wisconsin a 49cc is street legal but does not require a license. In the case of this bike I’m sure it’s all over the US you need an endorsement
He said living in the suburbs like that was a bad thing I nigga live in the hood Try making it out here bro Live in the summer is to much for you or too costly don’t live in the suburbs😶😶🤣🤣🤣🤣
TRY OWNING THAT BIKE IN ANY HOOD AND SEE HOW LONG BEFORE IT GETS STOLEN. YOU COULD WELD IT INTO A STEEL STRORAGE CONTAINER AND COME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND IT WOULD STILL BE IN THERE BUT THE WHEELS AND RIMS WOULD BE GONE
These Lil things are hyper scooters.. well that said I know of a few cheap scooters that will walk off from these things.. but fun none the less.. not kicking them. If ya out on one then you enjoy it for what it is.for the money to fun ratio. the fun wins..
YOU YOUNG KIDS HAVE NO IDEA what it was like to spend about $2-300 and get you a fairly new Yamaha DT 125 or 175, or even better a Honda MT 25 Elsinore or a Kawasaki KT 125 enduros, street legal and way more practical and fun as well as outrun this junker on the street and trails. Or a Yamaha RD 125 street which would blow the doors off this turtle. Newer is not always better! PS these were all 2 strokes!
Lol look at this 4 yrs in the future from when this video was made and now looking at lifans and they're $2800 bucks. They're just as expensive as a used grom right now lol 😂
Hey man I’m about to buy a kp Mini Lifan! Does it need an oil change after it’s shipped? Also does anyone know where to buy after market parts such as a fender eliminator kit?
I changed it after like 100 miles. I have a fender Delete series but there is not product for it yet. Most parts have to come from your dealer. Email sales@americanlifan.com and they can hook you up. The exaust is too knotch and worth the all the pennies :)

for real, in what fantasy dream world are people getting new groms out the door under 3000
I would have just saved the money and got a honda or Kawisaki. For the long term it will pay for itself and resale value is there.

Just spend $1500 and do what I did and buy a used, well cared for street bike like my 1985 Kawasaki 650/4 CSR, now those are kinda like these scooters and the Groms, BUT FOR MEN.....
PLUS NO NEW PIPES OR MODS NEEDED TO BLAST YOUR ASS INTO SPACE FASTER THAN YOU EVER KNEW POSSIBLE!
Hey! I just got a 2017 lifan for a great deal with 4 miles on it. My buddy has a grom and can find tons of aftermarket parts for his. I'm having trouble trying to fing some. Got any suggestions?
Its a new bike and parts are getting releases slowly

There is a fender eliminator series I have you can watch also with a universal part
AND your faster than your buddies grom by a lot!
@@SmallEngineVelocity yes I am lol. His brother just got the new Honda Monkey and im still faster. I wanted to get an exhaust for mine. But if I couldn't find one I was gonna puch out the baffel and then rivit the end cap back on to make it looks stock lol thank you
Where did you buy your Lifan? I'm trying to find a dealer near me, but not having any luck. If I have to, I'll skip one in. My son wants a bike and this looks like a good every level bike

It will come in a crate and would make a sweet father and son project to put together (not a lot of stuff to do). Search my channel and you will see the KPR200 lifan and how it came in a crate and what it takes to out and out together.
@@SmallEngineVelocity that's for the mini as well? I watched your video on the KPR200. If I ever decide to get off my Ruckus, I may look into one of those myself. I don't know if I got the coordination to shift with my foot and left hand. Lol 😋. I drive tractor trailers, so I can shift a vehicle
That is the place recommended by American Lifan to purchase. Venom motorsports also sells them online. Also never get off your ruckus :) never get rid of it and keep it forever. The mini and the KPR fill in the space for longer rides with friends with bigger bikes.
@@SmallEngineVelocity I love my Ruckus. Don't think I'll ever get rid of it. But eventually I do need to graduate to something bigger for those longer commutes. Thanks for all the info. Love the videos
Does lifan really back there warrantty? Does it take long them ship parts
2 year Warranty and as long as regular shipping. Not like amazon prime fast but manageable. If you have a dealer near by it includes parts and LABOR for the first year , just parts for the second year. I’ve had misc parts replaced over the past year but minor things. I hope this helps
@@SmallEngineVelocity i might buy this tomrrow as long as its reliable. I looked at a 125cc vader to
It’s worth EVERY penny over the Vader. Only advantage the Vader has over the mini is that it has crossover parts with the Grom and the z190 swap is available also. If you buy one let me know
Small Engine Velocity these are on amazon I’m going to buy one but should I buy from a dealer or amazon does it make a difference? Would love to have some feedback thank you
@@nicoleharoldgillenwater1663 did you buy one?
It takes 150 cc to legal ride on the freeway in CA. Is this legal? Cuz technically it's slightly below 150 CC's but does that matter?
Not sure but for sure it can ride on the freeway. I rode it all the way to Galveston
how long does the gas last you before you pump again?
Very late but over 115 miles per gallon
Where do you get your mods?
Some from amazon , some universal that I made work. Shop.sevproductions.com check out my amazon store
Whats the actual engine model number?
Not sure but it’s a Honda CB150 clone
People have found Big Bore kits to 208cc already
@@SmallEngineVelocity Just wanting to get dimensions and bolt pattern to see if the 250cc ohv engine can be put in.
So grom vs kp 150 drag race what would win?
KP mini every time no mater how many mods the grom has on (accept a BBk)
What’s the top speed?
I’ve got 75mph
70 MPH On the Lifan KP Mini 150cc - Lifan KP Mini Speed Test [BONUS] At the end almost hit by 2 cars
Small Engine Velocity that’s awesome! Definitely a grom killer. Thx for the reply I’m getting one 😀

Do you have any group members/friends in the Katy area? I've been waiting to run into other small engine owners
Look up Ruck City on google maps , they are there all day and they have rides and stuff all the time - plus you can chat with other small bore People
@@SmallEngineVelocity Thanks!
I am going to have some spring meetups , we can meet at vintage and ride to old town spring in feb for the meet
I saw you SOLD your KP 150 to someone on a Facebook site!!! - I watched ALL your videos on the KP 150 BEFORE I bought TWO NEW ones for LESS than the cost of ONE Honda Grom and I got a TWO YEAR WARRANTY on BOTH - not to mention 25 MORE CCs !! Why did you sell your KP 150??
I crashed on it and I was anxious riding it because I broke my arm. I should have stored it rather than trade it. I very much regret my decision.
@@SmallEngineVelocity I am SO sorry to hear about your injury and trade. I put off road tires on my KP 150s and that will be about 90% of the riding I will do with them because I have a 600CC Honda Silverwing AUTOMATIC SCOOTER and a 700CC Honda CTX AUTOMATIC Motorcycle for STREET riding. I also have a Yamaha TW200 for Off Road riding as well. Take care and I will keep track of you to see what you acquire as well as tips you bring to UA-cam 😉👍
@@SmallEngineVelocity Yeah dude, you were just geeking out for a bit because you got a little broken arm. You would have eventually got your confidence up again and would want to ride again. Plus how did you crash? What happened, maybe I can be the head of the situation if I ever end up in a similar crash you got in
Can you ride these on the road without a license?
No not in any state far as I know
lol why on earth would you think that
Anything that’s street legal needs a license
Depends on the state. Example , Wisconsin a 49cc is street legal but does not require a license. In the case of this bike I’m sure it’s all over the US you need an endorsement
He said living in the suburbs like that was a bad thing I nigga live in the hood Try making it out here bro Live in the summer is to much for you or too costly don’t live in the suburbs😶😶🤣🤣🤣🤣
TRY OWNING THAT BIKE IN ANY HOOD AND SEE HOW LONG BEFORE IT GETS STOLEN. YOU COULD WELD IT INTO A STEEL STRORAGE CONTAINER AND COME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND IT WOULD STILL BE IN THERE BUT THE WHEELS AND RIMS WOULD BE GONE
These Lil things are hyper scooters.. well that said I know of a few cheap scooters that will walk off from these things.. but fun none the less.. not kicking them. If ya out on one then you enjoy it for what it is.for the money to fun ratio. the fun wins..
I like the ratio comment , mind if I use that in a video ???
Go for it.. they are alot of fun for the money.. thanks also.. great video.
Honda gears, engine, reliability compared to anything Chinese?
Really? Drive any Japanese bike then do the reviews
YOU YOUNG KIDS HAVE NO IDEA what it was like to spend about $2-300 and get you a fairly new Yamaha DT 125 or 175, or even better a Honda MT 25 Elsinore or a Kawasaki KT 125 enduros, street legal and way more practical and fun as well as outrun this junker on the street and trails. Or a Yamaha RD 125 street which would blow the doors off this turtle. Newer is not always better! PS these were all 2 strokes!
Lol look at this 4 yrs in the future from when this video was made and now looking at lifans and they're $2800 bucks. They're just as expensive as a used grom right now lol 😂
I just bought my 2023 and it was shipped to my door w title for $2050.
Save for a Z125 or Grom don’t buy Chinese junk .
Price makes no difference if you're spending 2 grand on Chinese junk.
Truth!
Just because it's from China doesn't mean it's junk. It's best to do research and this the best Grom alternative next to z125 and SSR Raskul
Also Lifan has a pretty good name from what I hear. Lifan engines are great Honda clones from I have heard, if them being a Honda clone is even true
Hey man I’m about to buy a kp Mini Lifan! Does it need an oil change after it’s shipped? Also does anyone know where to buy after market parts such as a fender eliminator kit?
I changed it after like 100 miles. I have a fender Delete series but there is not product for it yet. Most parts have to come from your dealer. Email sales@americanlifan.com and they can hook you up. The exaust is too knotch and worth the all the pennies :)
I changed mine immediately but I knew I was going on a 2000+ ride and I didn’t want to worrie about it we did 2 oil changes in hotel rooms lol
