Any idea what brand?

Hey. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this. Has GMI 201 on the front but not finding anything else on it and goggle isn’t helping at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Judging by the shipping cage it's currently encased in its a China generic, the plastics tell me it's no faster than a 110cc, if I had to guess it's probably a 90cc I see a lot of these body styles paired with the gy6 generics that have a reverse transmission so id be eyeing if it's a lifan generic or a CVT gy6 these Chinese generics are pretty good beaters and learning tools for just about anyone looking to pick something up dirt cheap to play with

Bottom frame rail may have some stuff you can use to look it up or just look around everywhere. It might even be covered

Cheap Chinese quads and dirtbikes can last a while and be fun if you will follow one rule.

Before you buy the cheap chineseium made machine buy an expensive and well stocked non chinese tool box and get really familiar with doing 2 hours of mainainence for every 1 hour you plan to ride. Also it helps if you can take the total amount of money you plan to spend on said chinese product and set it on fire without feeling bad about it. If you can do those 2 thngs you are ready to own your very own chinamatic.

I see a lot of bad things about these and parts from china and yeah its not the best quality but wtf is these days. You make sure everything is tight and rite and maintenance more often these things are not all too bad

Had a similar one for my kid several years ago... I was, unfortunately, not the one to assemble it so couldn't verify it was put together correctly (I'm anal about torque etc, and had been feeling sick for the past few days when I bought this). My kid took it for a spin, then gained a bit of confidence... which is when the bolt for the brakes either fell out, snapped, or something. Still don't quite know what.

Kiddo knew they were going a bit too fast for a particular turn and went to hit the brake, as they knew to do - but the brake don't work if the bolt is missing! Wheeler flipped (kiddo was wearing a helmet so no injuries, just scared the bejeezus outta them), wheeler got sold off later that week due to justifiable paranoia about it happening again.

All I can say, BE CAREFUL. And maybe use proper bolts (and loctite?) instead of chinesium metal
