Is this toy street legal?
Hmmmm an small Electric car you can repair yourself instead of being captive of the World's BILLIONAIRES for basic transportation!!!!!
Do you think LeBron James would fit in one????
Hmmmm not a bad idea just using old school lead acid Batterys you could even go to the local Picknpull and get a Battery instead of a 10 000$ Tesla' dealer Battery!
You can’t even buy a used golf cart for $900 in the US.
The king pin axle design is still used on heavy duty trucks.
I wish I could buy this car the Taxes in Turkiye is too much I would really like to upgrade it slowly because It's such a simple car. I'd slowly change the coils brakes to better ones Monhtly one by one Like If you want to buy a super modern car that is 2022 model The car is 200k And taxes are 600k
If it’s a washing machine motor, then, it’s basically the same as a Sinclair C5

These things need to take off. The modding community would probably have a field day with these things. I'm picturing one with motor swaps, liberty walk kits, pulling trailers with Honda ruckus clones (Chuckus). I'm ready. The world is ready.
OK This is flipping killing me man. Where do I know you from (guy in video)? I know I have met you before. Did you ever act or do anything behind the scenes in regards to movies? I have worked in production for quite a few films and have acted in a few as well. I know you though. Who knows, it might have been at a party, but I used to live in Torrance CA and I know that I know you from somewhere.
The web site says 9,999.00 usd
Oh, i remember these! People were driving those everywhere back before the Berlin wall fell.
I found some brand new Jordan 1 Bred models for only a few Benjamins. (And I bet the Yeezys have taken a hit lately.)
I suppose a lot of repairs on this car could be done by a place that fixes electric lawn mowers.
I suppose it's still awfully cheap if you replace it every 2-3 years and donate the old one. What about insurance?
ive noticed on other cheap china electric cars, think the same brand. but they used a Chrysler steering wheel and a jeep on/off button. i think there also going thru the left over bin to save costs
I would love to see donut buy the Chang li and torture it
Entertaining enough but factually super inaccurate.
Could I replace that small motor with a go cart motor?
uuhm i don't think they excist in europe…
LS swap it…
most peoples phone costs more than that car, pretty good deal! (waiting patiently for donut to purchase one.)
40 mile range…to quote Pete Campbell: NOT GREAT, BOB!
Anybody else feel like Jerry was really channeling his inner T.J. Miller?
1.6 horsepower is like a very strong human…
Wonder if theres any kits for this thing
The cars are cheaper then my laptop.
so… street go kart with backup camera and digital dashboard?
Dude I'm joining the underground just for jerries motorcycles
Is your life worth more than $1000 is the real question? Any battery issue and I think kiss the butt goodbye lolol
It'll cost you 100 usd to get one of those here in ph
I work with UPS backup systems and have always loads of silver calcium deep cycle 12v batteries from routine maintenance operations and this car makes me think a lot . I could fit free batteries that I tend to scrap as there are too many send some vendors around town…
I read that in China, these cars are indeed used by the elderly to commute and pickup their grandkids. They apparently aren't legal to drive on the road, but the old people do it anyway and the cops are scared to disrespect any of them by writing a ticket.
It's a scooter that looks like a car so old people feel safer coz you can't fall out of balance
As far as the safety factor goes, they're no more dangerous than a motorcycle. if you get hit by a car on a motorcycles, you're kinda hurtin' anyway.
If you've been to Florida, there's golf carts driving EVERYWHERE.
$900??♂️
Fuck it, why not.
Another Tata Nano, but worst?
How is it so cheap? Chinese slave workers.
It’s a golf carrrrrrrr-t
That looks like a budget mini electric nissan cube!!!
Ya all need better lower front lighting for that green screen. Trust me, I'm a random asshole in the YouTube comments section, I'm kind of a big deal.
I feel like he is making fun of the way I talk. This is vocal appropriation !!!!
0.1 star safety rating
I needed this kind of car badly when I was back in school
It seems like this video is just "shit on this thing as much as we can." I don't get it? These are super fun (and cheap) little runabouts. NO ONE is expecting this to be like a Tesla or Lucid… PLUS the batteries are OPTIONAL or you can put in whatever you want, and that is why these are so cool. They are easily modifiable! You would think Donut would LOVE this thing as they can turn the little toaster into something crazy.
I dunno, I just get strange vibes from this video, almost as if they were steered or influenced by someone to talk shit about it.
