Rebel Cycles is the Canadian distributor for China Mascot bikes. China Mascot sell their bikes to several distributors in the US. Some distributors assemble the bikes here and have proprietary designs. Performance XPR is probably the best China Mascot distributor and they sell mainly thru dealers.

Rebel, TW-Bents, RecumbentUSA, and Actionbent are all the same bike, just different distributors and level of support.

Good bikes, but you have to be leery of which distributor you get it from.

BTW, China Mascot will be shipping an all Carbon Fiber low priced aerodynamically designed trike within the next couple of months. They are already showing up in Europe.

Do I detect someone doing research again?????

 

Bill, How do you come up with all this stuff???? :

 

I've been involved with HPVs for a loooooooong time.

I know people. And I'm easy to talk to, so people tell me things that they typically would keep close to the vest. I also listen to different people in the industry and can piece together different connected facts to see what is going on.

For instance, the Baccura designer Jamie, designed a lugged carbon frame before WW did. If you watch the boards and talk to people in the industry, like the owner of Performance XPR who talked to me....., you would find out that 'somebody' who used to design carbon, lug framed trikes in Oregon is now in Taiwan helping to design the new carbon framed trikes over there. Do some follow up and you will see that Jamie's old site has a link to Performer Bike which is a shadow company of China Mascot.

Then look at the China Mascot bikes and do a quick review of the newest bent distributors. Note they look alike and that they say clearly they do not manufacture their bikes.

Do the math and it all starts becoming connected.

 

SEE! I knew it...he always does research! then keeps all the information to himself and then lets tid bits out every little bit...

 

We will have to start calling you Sherlock!!!

 

Elementary.....

I am a big Holmes fan. You can ask Keila. Many of my 'passwords' have to do with obscure things in Sherlock Holmes stories. Of course I add cryptic things to them......

By the way, I have an authentic tweed deerstalker cap that I purchased in London....

And where did I purchase this?

221B Baker Street. ( A real Sherlock fan will recognize this address)

Re: Elementary.....

Now we will REALLY have to start calling you Sherlock.

Is Keila ... Watson???

 

Hey Ward,

Fenders and rack are included.

Me, I'm waiting for your new bike to come out. At least we will know who and where it was made.

 

Well Bill, You have bit off a big bite to chew. Hope you like it. I'm positive there is no profit in it. Please make me eat those words. If you haven't declared bankruptcy you may just have a new experience lurking. Let's see now, you were going to ride from right here in East Tn to Maryland this spring. You were going to ride from Ca to Tn. Now you are going to butt heads with China etc. My Dear departed Granny that I truly loved told me more times than one, "Yeah boy, you are going to sh** and fall back in it". So keep the paper handy.

You know, I think this WILL work. Not just saying this because I am married to William but because I have watched him for over 4 MONTHS doing research, making calls to distributors, sending mass emails to vendors of parts etc. We know all about reality & businesses come and go. H*** I know, I have worked for years to make my business work and grow and it has. I KNOW he would not risk anything this substantial unless it was something that would take off. Any business takes time to grow. We welcome all the support we can get. This has been one of his life long dreams and I want to see it succeed! As a friend,you should too!
