A-bike in China

[qinn]

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM GARRY:

Sorry for editing people's posts including this one, but I have done so in the light of official information received and published below that the A-Bike Smart is an official product and wouldn't want anyone misled by out-of-date information. Thanks for your understanding!

There is a A-bike store located in China Main Land,

Here is the link: http://www.a-bike.com.cn

It says they are the only one qualified store in China, but I'm still not sure .

I 'm in China, and I plan on buying one, but I don't want to buy a fake one.

Is there anybody who can help me approve it?

This is their authorization certificate: http://www.a-bike.com.cn/sqs/

Here is the reply from the official distributor in Hong Kong:

Hi, Amuro,

I don't think so but I will check with our UK company. Thank you for your information.

Best regards,
Lewis

Dear all,

I just want to confirm that is the following website selling genuine
A-bikes?

http://www.a-bike.com.cn

They claim that they are the official A-bike distributor/dealer in
China. Is it true?

Thanks!

Best wishes,
Amuro

Here is a reply from Mayhem UK:

Hi !
As I think we have explained the A-bike smart which is only available in PRC is an inferior but authorised version of the A-bike. It is made in China not Taiwan. So it is not a genuine A-bike plus and does not incorporate the features of latest design of Abike plus. Pitched somewhere between the copies and the genuine article.

From the reply of Mayhem UK, I figure that a-bike smart and abike plus are two derived versions of the original a-bike. A-bike smart is only available in PRC and a-bike plus is for global market, according to Mayhem UK's market strategy.

I have received the official announcement from Mayhem UK about the A-Bike Smart, and posted it here:

It's great news that A-Bike is now in the world's biggest bicycle market and that they are going to do something about the clones!
