- Sinnis Vista and Qingqi renegade same bike?
A mate told me that sinnis just rebrand the same models as the other chinese brands but I thought sinnis used suzuki engines? is it true?
if you look at pictures they look the same and i did hear the same rumour but personally i dont really care i love my sinnis whether its the same as another one or not
Actually you are entirely correct. Sinnis bikes are made by a Chinese company called Jinan Qingqi who rebrand for alot of other companies. I have heard the thing about suzki engines but not really looked into it much. Maybe incheye knows a bit more about this?
not sure about the rebranding stuff sounds a little dodgy to me
hehe I know alot of people say that but I’ll give you a perfect example! Near me there’s this huge bakery called “Park Cake”, never heard of them have you? Well they supply cakes to M&S, Asda, Tesco, all of who rebrand them as their own. Nothing wrong with those chocolate eclairs now is there?
Wikipedia actually says that jinan qingqi is an OEM supplier for peugot and suzuki aswell!
Qingqi is a Chinese supplier of bikes. They have Joint ventures with Peugeot and Suzuki. They also have many brands that they produce to and a few subsidiaries.
The subsidiaries include – Pioneer, Rhon
Pioneer supply Pulse with the Adrenaline
Rhon supply Cleveland cycle works
The Sinnis Vista and the Qingqi Renegade are produced by the same factory however the Qingqi Rnegade is the same as the Pioneer Torro. The Sinnis Vista uses the Suzuki GS style engine and is the same as the Lexmoto lowride
The employees at the dealership I have ordered my Max from were very helpful in explaining this.
Qingqi holds the manufacturing rights to production runs of bikes ordered by their subsidiaries, such as Sinnis (named for the western market) as well as major brands such as Peugeot, Suzuki and Yamaha.
Qingqi simply manufacture the bike to varying degrees of mechanical accuracy based on production costs, in order to keep retail prices at a certain percentage above manufacturing costs.
It’s business, lovely high-price business!
