Who built the engine in your Kangchao Group (Usa)
Kangchao Group (Usa), Inc. is the name on the certificate filed with the US EPA. That is the company that brought the machine into the country, not the company that built the engine. The record names 8 different Chinese engine factories across Kangchao Group (Usa)'s filings — which means the badge alone does not tell you which engine you have.
- Chongqing Astronautic BashanVIN prefix LHJ
- Chongqing Haowai Motorcycle Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
- Chongqing Haowei Motorcycle Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
- Chongqing LoncinVIN prefix LLC
- Chongqing ShinerayVIN prefix LXY
- Chongqing Weiping Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd.
- Jianshe
- Zhejiang Health Ascend Industry Co. Ltd.
It changed, and the year tells you which
This is the most useful thing on the page if you are buying parts. Two Kangchao Group (Usa) machines of different years can have engines from different factories, so a part that fits one may have nothing to do with the other.
| Model year | Engine built by |
|---|---|
| 2006 | Chongqing Astronautic Bashan · Zhejiang Health Ascend Industry Co. Ltd. |
| 2007 | Chongqing Loncin · Chongqing Shineray · Jianshe |
| 2008 | Chongqing Haowai Motorcycle Manufacturing Co., Ltd. |
| 2009 | Chongqing Haowai Motorcycle Manufacturing Co., Ltd. · Chongqing Haowei Motorcycle Manufacturing Co., Ltd. · Chongqing Weiping Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. |
The numbers to find on the machine
Where these live depends on the shape of your machine rather than on the badge, so we do not repeat the search here — the sheets below cover it properly and are free. What matters for a Kangchao Group (Usa) specifically is which number settles things: with 8 factories on the record, the engine family number is what tells you which engine you have.
- The emission control information label
Carries the engine family number. This is the strongest identifier your machine has and the one most owners have never looked at.
- The code stamped into the crankcase
Survives when the label has not. It encodes cylinder count, orientation, bore and displacement class.
- The VIN
Identifies the vehicle rather than the engine, and its first three characters name whoever registered it for sale.
Engine families on the record for Kangchao Group (Usa)
If the label under your seat carries one of these, it is a Kangchao Group (Usa) and this is the certificate it was sold under.

The other names to search under
8 other US brands sold machines whose engines came from the same factory at the same displacement. When a search for “Kangchao Group (Usa)” returns nothing, these are the names worth trying instead.
How to search for a part
Searching the badge is searching the weakest information you have. These are built from Kangchao Group (Usa)'s own record, roughly strongest first — replace <part> with what you need, and add the measurement you took.
- 16KNGC.080HZH <part>
- 250, 72cc <part>
- 3Chongqing 50, 72cc <part>
- 4Bashan Motorcycle USA Inc. <part>
- 5Kangchao Group (Usa), Inc. <part>
The strongest search usually has no badge in it at all. An engine family number plus a measurement finds listings from sellers who have never heard of Kangchao Group (Usa), which is most of them.

What this page does not tell you
This record covers certificates whose engines were built in China. Kangchao Group (Usa), Inc. filed 34 certificate rows in total, of which 30 are covered here, about 88%. The rest had engines built elsewhere and are outside this registry's scope.
It also cannot tell you that a part fits. A shared factory is a research lead — a list of other badges worth searching under — and nothing more. These machines are assembled from several component suppliers, and those suppliers change, sometimes inside a single model year. Why that is, and how to measure instead.
