What the number itself says

Reading VTM3C.169MCA left to right: V is the model-year letter for 2027, TM3 is the three-character code the EPA assigned to Taro Motorcycle as certificate holder, C marks a highway (street-legal) certification, .169 is the displacement in litres, so 169cc and MCA is Taro Motorcycle'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 Taro Motorcycle submitted for this family (model TR200T-2) carried engine code 1P61QMK. In the Chinese engine-model convention that reads as one cylinder, horizontal (flat) cylinder, with a nominal 61 mm bore, QMK series. Against the certified 169cc that implies a stroke of roughly 58 mm — a sanity check for a piston or cylinder listing, not a published figure.

The certificate describes a four-stroke, single-cylinder engine with 4 valves per cylinder fed by multi-point fuel injection, with an oxygen sensor for closed-loop fuelling, run by an engine control module (ECM). There is a catalytic converter in the exhaust, recorded as "Three Way Catalyst (TWC), single-bed, closed-loop warm up".

Rated power on the record is 8.3 kW (about 11 hp) at 7,000 rpm, driving through a CVT (belt and variator).

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 VTM3C.169MCA

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.
