Anyone have a Bad Boy Bandit?

Apparently, these are Hisun or at least they use Hisun engines. I can't find much info on them online yet.  Ran across a used one with just 100 miles on it as a very reasonable price.  Just curious.

Okay, more info...they are owned by Textron Corp who also owns Bell Helicopter, Cessna & Beechcraft aircraft, Ez-Go & Cushman and Arctic Cat and a bunch of other companies.

So are thy cheap Chinese crap machines or are they good to go?

Can't say on the whole rig but my experience with HISUN engines has not been pleasurable to say the least. Makes you wonder why  they want to dump it with only 100 miles. Have you actually Seen it or just an ad? Beware of scams. See clear title before you buy.

I looked at it and drove it. Ran well. It;s only a couple months old. Owner said it was a dealer demo who gave him a great price. He bought it but really wanted a 4 person machine instead. At least that's his story.

My brother bought a used Axis 500 (Hisun from Lowes) last year. It was a 2021 with 400 miles on it. It has worked well for him. He drives it a lot and never had a problem. Sometimes you get lucky.

I bought a 750 4 seater Bandit in October 2024. The starter went out in March. It has been in the shop for nearly three months now. They keep telling me they are waiting on the parts. Seems kinda useless to have a two year warranty if it’s going to sit in the shop for the entire duration of the warranty.
