Well all the replica manufacturers have that problem, or perhaps we would see a rather large number of manufacturers offering completed cars!
Excalibur used too, Aurora, Auto Kraft, all met the same fate, Federal laws.
That term replica (and replicar) appears very often on the SPF company website in reference to their car, no shame, nor should there be! A "license" add's credibility and in theory "value" to any given product. A licensed product does not have to be the original product built by the same people, place or business as the original. It is not and never will be an "authentic" anything other than a licensed product.
China bought the brand name "Schwinn". They market a number of products under that name, including mopeds. Having owned/operated a moped sales and service shop I know that moped well. It's built with the same parts virtually ALL Chinese mopeds are built with. It's no more or less reliable than any other typical Chinese moped, but it sure SELLS for a premium price! Looks better too, deeper shine on the plastic, painted wheels, "replica" Honda 50 cc motor. The motors on Chinese bikes are actually pretty darn good, it's much more likely the wheels WILL FALL OFF before the motor goes out.
Is it still a Schwinn? Yeah, legally, not that I'd recommend anyone buy one, get a cheap Chinese moped instead, same thing, less money...
