What this record says

Sold in the US by: Peace Industry Group (Usa), Inc.
Engine built by: Chongqing Astronautic Bashan
Vehicle category: Highway Motorcycle - Ib (50-169cc)
Certificate numbers: FPCGC.150S4A-002

What the number itself says

Reading FPCGC.150S4A left to right: F is the model-year letter for 2015, PCG is the three-character code the EPA assigned to Peace Industry Group (Usa) as certificate holder, C marks a highway (street-legal) certification, .150 is the displacement in litres, so 150cc and S4A is Peace Industry Group (Usa)'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 vehicle Peace Industry Group (Usa) submitted for this family (model TPGS-930) carried engine code 157QMJ. In the Chinese engine-model convention that reads as one cylinder with a nominal 57 mm bore, QMJ series. Against the certified 150cc that implies a stroke of roughly 59 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, run by an ignition control module (CDI-type ignition). 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 6 kW (about 8 hp) at 7,000 rpm, driving through a CVT (belt and variator).

Filing history and where it was sold

Peace Industry Group (Usa) filed one certificate under this family, for model year 2015, sold as 49-state (not certified for sale in California).

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

Certified emission levels: CO 7.5, HC 0.2 g/km.

What this configuration means when you shop for parts

Peace Industry Group (Usa) certified the 157QMJ with a carburettor at 150cc, so the fuel-side wear items are the carburettor, its jets and float needle, the intake boot and the choke. The 57 mm bore in the code gives the engine size, not the carburettor size — measure the intake bore and the mounting on the 157QMJ before ordering.

The CVT behind the 157QMJ makes its drive belt, variator rollers and clutch shoes the consumables; belt length and width vary between 150cc machines, so measure the old belt on the TPGS-930 rather than ordering by displacement.

The PAIR valve Peace Industry Group (Usa) lists on the 157QMJ is an emissions part; its hoses perish and are the usual cause of popping on the overrun.

The exhaust on Peace Industry Group (Usa)'s FPCGC.150S4A carries a catalyst, so a replacement silencer without one changes what the 157QMJ 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.
