What the number itself says

Reading 8BGXC.150SAA left to right: 8 is the model-year letter for 2008, BGX is the three-character code the EPA assigned to Bogo Import & Export Company as certificate holder, C marks a highway (street-legal) certification, .150 is the displacement in litres, so 150cc and SAA is Bogo Import & Export Company's own sequence for that year. Nothing in the number names the factory — that comes from the certificate itself.

The engine, as described on the certificate

The test vehicles Bogo Import & Export Company submitted for this family carried engine codes LC162FMJ-2A and MT152QMI. In the Chinese engine-model convention that reads as one cylinder with a nominal 62 mm bore, FMJ series.

The certificate describes a four-stroke, single-cylinder engine with 2 valves per cylinder fed by carburettor, run by an ignition control module (CDI-type ignition). There is a catalytic converter in the exhaust, recorded as "oxidizing catalyst only". The head carries a pulse secondary-air (PAIR) valve.

Rated power on the record is 6.1–6.4 kW (about 8–9 hp) at 7,000–7,500 rpm, driving through an automatic.

A shared code from the same factory is a strong search lead. From a different factory it is as often a naming coincidence. Either way it narrows the search; it does not settle it — measure before you buy.
