The Exceed range - distributed by Exceed Trading NZ who sell Hisun four-wheelers via another company - offer a trio of models, said to be specifically designed for local conditions.
The business is owned by Peter Burchall, who over the last 18 months frequently visited the Chinese factory to finalise specification, product distribution and technical support, and is overseen by Barry Martin from a premises based at Shannon in the lower North Island.
A common frame and suspension set-up for the 150, 200 and 250cc models allows reduced inventories for common parts, while Burchall notes that the 150cc model can be supplied with smaller diameter wheel/tyre equipment, for riders of smaller stature. Standard seat height of the 150cc is 780mm, with the 200 and 250 models at 800mm.
Fitted with air-cooled, single cylinder, four stroke engines, delivering 9.5, 10.5 and 11.5 horsepower respectively, the transmission is a 5-speed unit, matched to chain driven, final drive offering a maximum speed of up to 85kph, depending on model.
Standard equipment includes electronic ignition, electric start with a kick-start back up, front and rear racks, handguards and rear-view mirrors, plus a side stand. Dimensions include a 1380mm wheelbase, 300mm ground clearance, a 150kg load capacity and an 8-litre fuel tank capacity.
Burchall comments, “we set out to source a high specification and reliable machine, customise it to suit New Zealand conditions and offer a very competitive price, starting at $3,800 for the 150cc, rising to $4,050 and $4,350 for the 200 and 250cc, all backed by a twelve month parts warranty.”
