What the number itself says
Reading 9RHPC.050SA1 left to right: 9 is the model-year letter for 2009, RHP is the three-character code the EPA assigned to Rhon Powersports Usa as certificate holder, C marks a highway (street-legal) certification, .050 is the displacement in litres, so 50cc and SA1 is Rhon Powersports Usa's own sequence for that year. Nothing in the number names the factory — that comes from the certificate itself.
