What this record says

Sold in the US by: Amstar Motors LLC
Engine built by: Taizhou Zhongneng (ZNEN)
Vehicle category: Highway Motorcycle - Ia (<50cc)
Certificate numbers: EAMSC.049ZNE-001

What the number itself says

Reading EAMSC.049ZNE left to right: E is the model-year letter for 2014, AMS is the three-character code the EPA assigned to Amstar Motors as certificate holder, C marks a highway (street-legal) certification, .049 is the displacement in litres, so 49cc and ZNE is Amstar Motors' 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 vehicle Amstar Motors submitted for this family (model ZN50QT-8c) carried engine code BN139QMB. In the Chinese engine-model convention that reads as one cylinder with a nominal 39 mm bore, QMB series. Against the certified 49cc that implies a stroke of roughly 41 mm — a sanity check for a piston or cylinder listing, not a published figure.

The certificate describes a four-stroke, single-cylinder engine with 2 valves per cylinder fed by carburettor. There is a catalytic converter in the exhaust, recorded as "TWC, single bed, open loop". The head carries a pulse secondary-air (PAIR) valve.

Rated power on the record is 2 kW (about 3 hp) at 7,000 rpm, driving through a CVT (belt and variator).

Filing history and where it was sold

Amstar Motors filed one certificate under this family, for model year 2014, sold as 49-state (not certified for sale in California).

The vehicle itself is recorded as built by the same company, Taizhou Zhongneng Motorcycle Co.,Ltd. in China — engine and chassis from one source.

Certified emission levels: CO 1.0, HC 0.2 g/km.

What this configuration means when you shop for parts

Amstar Motors certified the BN139QMB with a carburettor at 49cc, so the fuel-side wear items are the carburettor, its jets and float needle, the intake boot and the choke. The 39 mm bore in the code gives the engine size, not the carburettor size — measure the intake bore and the mounting on the BN139QMB before ordering.

The CVT behind the BN139QMB makes its drive belt, variator rollers and clutch shoes the consumables; belt length and width vary between 49cc machines, so measure the old belt on the ZN50QT-8c rather than ordering by displacement.

The PAIR valve Amstar Motors lists on the BN139QMB is an emissions part; its hoses perish and are the usual cause of popping on the overrun.

The exhaust on Amstar Motors' EAMSC.049ZNE carries a catalyst, so a replacement silencer without one changes what the BN139QMB was certified with.

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.

Models certified under EAMSC.049ZNE

Every model designation the importer listed on this certificate. If your machine's model name appears here, this is the right record — even if the name on the bodywork is slightly different.
