Chinese clone CYC kits?

[The Madmadscientist]

Hello All,
I looked and couldn't see this already mentioned so...
Got served up an add for what looks like a gen 1 CYC?
The alibaba page is worthless as usual...it says its a brushed motor at 450W...
Here's the link if interested.

Hopefully I did that right.

Looks like the listing is a bit of a forebodance:


Maybe that's part of why they aren't talked about here much.. hehe..

this picture shows what probably is a brushed unite motor with gearbox, like what was used on "currie" drives for a while

Alright, so it's a weird, inferior Chinese clone of the CYC set-up.
How shocking.
Because of my Alibaba addiction I get served up all manner of strange things in my online ads. This is the first time I've seen this specific clone.

So, so many bad clones on that site...
Copies of popular widgets, there's just always something that just doesn't quite translate.
So close but yet so far...

Biggest reason I will not consider purchasing anything from Alibaba ... I am finally off their junk mail list and I want to stay off of it!

But occasionally a product that some American reseller has embossed with their name and sells the exact build same maker for 5-10 times the alibaba price. Shark Tank approved.

Terrible clone. 9kg vs 3kg. Lol.
