UM Cycles?

Anyone know about UM Cycles? Saw an ad for them in Motorcyclist Magazine, and was wondering where they're made. I checked out their site www.umcycles.com and found nothing on where they're built.

I think they are partnered with South Korea's Hyosung motors for some of their bikes with the remaining lineup of scooters and lower CC bikes by Chinese companies.
