Which Piaggio Group Americas models have a Chinese-built engine?

What the Piaggio Group Americas filings say about the engines

Piaggio Group Americas' filings mix carburettors and fuel injection: 57 rows carburetted, 3 injected. The first injected family appears in 2014, and from 2027 injected families outnumber carburetted ones; in 2027 the split was 1 carburetted to 1 injected. Check which you have before buying anything on the fuel side.

The engine codes on Piaggio Group Americas' test vehicles —7 distinct across the filings — are led by C37CM, M703M, C387M, C535M and C525M. The code is stamped on the crankcase and is a better search term than the badge.

42 of the 60 filings are 50-state (California-legal); the other 18 were 49-state only.

Rated power across the range runs from 3.2 kW to 8.7 kW (about 4 to 12 hp).

The vehicle builders named are Zhongshen Piaggio Foshan Motorcycle Co., Ltd., Zongshen Piaggio Foshan Mtr., Co., Ltd., Piaggio & C. S.p.A. and Piaggio Vietnam 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.
