What the American Lifan filings say about the engines

American Lifan's filings mix carburettors and fuel injection: 51 rows carburetted, 24 injected. The first injected family appears in 2024; in 2026 the split was 0 carburetted to 9 injected. Check which you have before buying anything on the fuel side.

The engine codes on American Lifan's test vehicles —21 distinct across the filings — are led by 165ML-E, 163FML-2L, 2V49FMM-P, 172FMM-2P and 1P57MJ. The code is stamped on the crankcase and is a better search term than the badge.

39 of the 75 filings are 50-state (California-legal); the other 36 were 49-state only.

Rated power across the range runs from 1.8 kW to 31.5 kW (about 2 to 42 hp).

The vehicle builders named are Jiangmen Qipai Motorcycle Co., Ltd., CHONGQING LIFAN INDUSTRY GROUP CO LTD, CHONGQING LIFAN INDUSTRY GROUP GO LTD and Lifan Industry (Group) Co.Ltd and others — the chassis and the engine do not always share a source.

Each figure is read straight off the EPA certificate rows; the per-family pages below carry the full breakdown for every engine family.
