So, I bought a Chinese Z-Bike 125 off of someone to use to commute to/from work. I'm just curious as to what the make and such actually is... The title states the make as "Zong". The insurance states the make as "Yumbo". The VIN plate at the handlebars states the manufacturer as "Taizhou Wangye Power Co., LTD" whereas the info plate under the seat states "Zhejiang Taizhou Wangye Power Co., LTD". I know there are usually some 's when it comes to Chinese scoots, just trying to sort this one out.

lol... does it have any decals on it??
When people ask me what kind of scooter mine is, I just say "it's Chinese" and they stare back blankly.
You're on a wild goose chase, and even if you did figure out what it 'is', it won't do you a lick of good, for anything...! If you need parts, you have to find engine/trans parts by searching by engine type. For body/chassis parts, you have to find out what the most common clone is and search for that. I found scrappy's body type divisions on their site very helpful for this.

Same issue with TaoTao scooters. They have something starting with x, like Xangjing or something as brand on the title.

Taizhou is the city name. Zhejiang is the province. www.wangyemotor.com/html/products.aspThe English webpage is pretty thin. If you switch over to the Chinese page there's a lot more going on. And since most Chinese line workers read English as well as most Americans read Chinese, They are counting on somebody in the front office to have translated the labels well enough not to embarrass the other 2,499 employees. WANGYE - A Leading Scooter Manufacturer Located in Xinqian Industrial District, Taizhou City, Wangye Power Co., Ltd. is a leading motor manufacturer based in China, the privately owned corporation covers an area of 218,000 square meters and has been operating dynamically since 1999.
