We don’t usually ride motorcycles with the intention of saving gas. More often than not, we’re all about smiles per gallon rather than miles per gallon. Nevertheless, this isn’t always the case, and there are lots of folks who rely on their bikes for daily mobility, and put a lot of importance on things like efficiency and cost-savings.
You could argue that that’s what scooters are for, but what if, for whatever reason, you wanted a stylish, retro-inspired cruiser that could provide you the same range as a fuel-sipping commuter scooter? Well, a bike like that now exists thanks to Chinese motorcycle manufacturer Qidian. The little-known Chinese manufacturer has released its newest model called the 150 C, and it’s as simple as its name is. It’s a barebones 150cc cruiser that flaunts neo-retro styling. However, thanks to its tiny engine, it provides some pretty impressive range on a full tank of its 4.4-gallon (16.5-liter) gas tank.
