@@Knightmare919 You're right that is what it has old fashioned lead acid batteries and it can be upgraded people have done that and increased its range. 👍👍
Change the original batteries to lithium golf cart batteries or custom battery pack from wrecked Nissan Leaf cheap car great battery your range is increased. And yeah the Salvage batteries from the Nissan Leafs are actually pretty cheap.
There are actual road legal electric micro cars with similar size but cost around 7000 dollars. The one shown in this video, is basically an electric mini bike with a roof and 4 wheels. It's not road legal.
It is why the first thing have to toss out the electric motor get larger higher RPM electric motor add 3,000watt DC generator and larger battery pack, then it is usefull when it goes 50MPH top speed for least 100 miles range off battery and put one gallon of gasoline in the generator for another 160+ miles
Ikr these things are made to replace tuk-tuks or a Rickshaw. They’re good for transporting people through densely populated cities in India or similar places. They’re not meant for cruising down roads in America or trips to the store. 🤦🏽♂️
That $900 car will cost you about $7k to $8k when you get a freight forwarder to ship from China, buy your bond, fill out and submit your ISF form (which is a must unless you want to pay the $5k fine), then you will need a final destination forwarder, and finally a customs clearance agent to release the shipment to you.
This would be great for the winter time for a college student like me that would use it instead of having to walk God who knows how many blocks of not a mile to get to a place
It is the 300 miles range and the 50MPH top speed using less than one gallon of gasoline and costing less than $3,000.00 bench mark that can only be achieved by building custom hand crafted transportation device having two, three or four wheels... tends to weigh less than 500 lbs and having little rolling friction...@@damoncreates489
That's because you're paying more just for the brand and logo which is Apple 🍏 and many of the parts in the iphone were manufactured in China. Isn't that really dumb to cough out more money for a stupid phone just for the brand. 😁🤣
Unfortunately not legal in most of the US, its mostly seatbelt laws and safety testing that prevent it Only places you can use it are places where they allow registration of low speed vehicles similar to it, like golf carts
In my country, people buy 3 wheel mini pickup trucks from china for like 200 bucks. They are useful for workshops to carry stuff around or for people selling fruit, not something you'd take to a highway but definitely useful in some context. Source: the guy selling watermelons next to my house
It's also available on AliExpress and Alibaba but whatever. It's not just on Amazon. Also if you choose the not on Amazon choices they'll do custom builds direct from the manufacturer like if you want a longer range or slightly more horsepower will put different electric motors in because other UA-cam channels have bought them and they asked them if they wanted something custom that great customer service when dealing with other people.
Donut Media bought one of these and incurred over $4,000 in freight forwarding and import fees. So it's probably closer to $5,000 than $900. Plus the upgrade to lithium ion is about $1,000 more.
The design actually looks sick, its a shame it has a such small range, if they made it a crossover suv size, with better range and a faster speed it would be a good car
Thays perfect for drivers still in high-school theu can get to class work and home, without the speeding dangers or the extra seats for a bunch of friends, amd im.sure it builds character too
I wonder if more range could be added by wiring another battery in parallel? I'm guessing marine batteries are used. I think in my state these would be legal and wouldn't require tabs or insurance, if I was a poor 16 year old, like I was when I was 16, this would be wonderful.
Yep, yank out the Lead Acid bricks and add 350 amp hour 96 volt lithium battery pack , yank out pathetic electric motor and install high RMP 96 volt 6,000 watt electric motor and add 3,000 watt DC generator
Someone converted one into a porta potty on wheels as they are easily towable, actually fits the average American weighing 650lbs and has the capacity to have proper wash facilities as well
If you think about it, it's a good city car. When you're only tooling around a large city, with no need for highway access and need to carry more than you can hold, it works. It's an easy charge, easy park, and NYC now has a 25mph limit citywide. It can even get you across the bridges! I'd consider it for local errands, and I can fit my toolbox in the back and not worry so much about rain. Hmm.
A motor vehicle that was not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable FMVSS, and/or was not so certified by its original manufacturer, in the form of a label permanently affixed to the vehicle, cannot be lawfully imported into the U.S. unless it is determined eligible for importation by NHTSA.
Just imagine getting rear ended while using that car💀💀
your goffy ass will fly if a truck rear ended you
You’d die lmao 💀
Damn i Never thought Abt that
💀
You'd be rolling down the highway if you brake too hard 💀
When the shipping fees are more expensive then the car 💀💀
Yeah, true. In China we enjoying a lower price
Aren't there loads of little electric cars at $800 over there anyway@@LeeLi-nh6tm
Maybe in I lived in a small town, and it had more range
*if
Dude it can't have more range it's battery is just a simple lead acid battery that's why it's so cheap.

No it's best for a packed city
Nope just because the shipping and customs fees will add another $6-$8k to the price.
just go to china and pick it up there
Perfect for English towns/villages but idk if they ship and if it's road legal here
I doubt its road legal
@@Magenta3377 if a tuktuk is road legal, so can the car.
Considering a rear bumper isn't mandatory over there, it's definitely road legal.
The legal alternative for this is Wuling mini EV and similar cars from its competitors. We definitely need more smaller cars in our roads.

Have you seen their build quality?

I love how on the actual website for it it states is $9,999…

The problem is dealing with shipping and all additional fees and paperwork. Would need a freight forwarder.
