great review, i have been considering buying one for my wife and my elderly mother, who don't drive and don't know how to ride a bike, and live and work just a couple of km from each other
For people used to two wheel bikes these are super counter intuitive and a bit of a learning curve to get through. but once you are comfortable easy to ride one handed etc. just need a flat field to play in to start off as it's easy to run off a road to start with.
Right on! I think these larger-than-ebikes, smaller-than-cars EVs could be the "missing middle" that could fill a lot of roles so much better than anything else. I can't imagine it would cost much more for the factory to make it a 3 or 6kw drivetrain, since motors and controllers are relatively cheap. Also, I'm wondering if you could find a hub motor that could replace your front wheel to give you an extra 1kw or so and 3-wheel-drive?
Hi! Great video, looks like we need exactly! Would you mind sharing the best Ali Baba source? I could not find it on Marketplace. We are in Australia. Thanks!
Hi, I'd like to say I had the best dealer to share. But I think it's probably better to see what's available now as this was a while ago and so much has changed in china. I would recommend going for an all up price including shipping to your door as this makes it much easier and you probably won't need a broker (it's pretty easy getting one in any case). The way to do it is contact a few likely companies that have what you are after, and keeping the language super simple (unless you get a staff who obviously has great English which I have often got) explain what you are after. I have bought a few things from Alibaba now and heaps from AliExpress and all of the things have showed up, all have been good quality for the price and on the occasion of not being in good condition I've got refunded by Ali company. So it's safe as eBay in my experience. Good luck
These look super useful and also... super fun. Thanks for the video.

Funny enough they plow through mud uphill better than our 4wd tractor and the load they take uphill is all we need to move around.
