What's the story
Chinese automaker Longjia has launched the XDV 250Si maxi-style scooter in its home country. To recall, it broke cover last year.

It runs on a 244.3cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that churns out a maximum power of 24.06hp.

Why does this story matter?
The Longjia XDV 250Si is the production version of the XADV300i maxi-scooter showcased at the Shenzhen Motor Expo in China last year.
It offers good looks, a lot of features, and should attract a lot of buyers in the Chinese market.
However, the two-wheeler's arrival on our shores seems unlikely considering the brand has no presence in our country.

The Longjia XDV 250Si sports a headlight-mounted front apron, an adjustable windscreen, a stepped-up single-piece seat, a side-mounted exhaust, and electrically heated handlebars.
The scooter packs a USB charging socket, a GPS anti-theft system, a 5.0-inch TFT LCD instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity, and twin LED headlamps.
It rides on designer blacked-out wheels shod in block pattern tires.
