I don't even know what a Lifan looks like.

It's a Chinese built, 250 v twin Virago rip off trike. They are supposed to be road legal, but need to be SVA'd.
Dunno what the quality is like as I have never seen one in the metal.

Wonder if a yam 535 lump would fit?

doesn't look much worse than a lot of trikes out there, not sure a 250 would be very good on the road though. If a 535 motor fits I can give the 250 lump a good home  ;)

For the sort of money you pay for them they are gonna be pretty poor.

Everything on it will be produced to the lowest possible price and that means poor quality I suspect.

250cc is gonna get you 60mph perhaps?
