I brought a child's cheap Chinese electric ATV for my small farm as I can no longer walk more than a few meters. In just a couple of months I clocked up over 100 kilometres. My sheep have eaten the indicators and a few minor things but does the job of an adult Japanese petrol ATV for a fraction of the price. I love it and she even has a name 'Elly'. If I could get one of those little cars I certainly would. I could see them both happily charging next to each other 🥰 Thanks for the update 👍

Changli is my passport to luxury living in my retirement. The hell with 401s! I bought a Changli 9 months ago. It is now sitting in my garage on blocks. The entire car is covered in vis-queen. I have exactly 1.2 km in mileage on it. In another 19 years, you will see it at auction on Barett-Jackson. Just imagine what a 20-year-old Changli in pristine condition will sell for. In the car collector world, the sky is the limit. I am thinking of the order of $ 2-2.3 million!!! Hell yeah! Better than buying a lottery ticket with hope. I will be strolling in high cotton! Be happy, be safe.

I have in my possession, a Wheeltech Mercury M48 mobility scooter which is around 20 years old. Now that scooter is basically the same engineering as the Changli, just smaller. So what ever it can do, the Changli should be able to do at least as well, and probably better. I would not be surprised to find the Changli is still around in 20 years. The shiny bits may not be so shiny, and the paintwork may have faded a bit, but the vehicle will very likely be just as good. Does the Changli use a brushless motor? - If it does, then all the better. Brushes are the bits that are likely to let you down worst of all. The worst part (for me) is that you cannot get hold of these vehicles in the UK, not for love, nor money!

Some depends on the state, but if you wanted to sell them in all of the states, you'd have to fit them into a category, and get licensed as a motor vehicle dealer - possibly manufacturer. In some states, things like this are allowed on roads classified as '30 mph or less'. For example, in Texas, if a road is not labeled, the speed limit is 30. If the vehicle is under a certain horsepower, or CC's, then it doesn't have to be registered as a vehicle, but can still travel the roads. They're treated like motorized bicycles.

for those who don't know or don't remember, it's worth mentioning the price of this car. the guy just simply said "the cheapest" car you could buy or something like that. wouldn't take any extra effort to say, the $5k(or whatever) changli has held up so and so after a year of use, etc.

Equivalent t0 24 mph for me (albeit downhill on a road with brakes that didn't really work, and a car at the end, which I had predicted. Scariest moment I've ever had on a bicycle).

Not sure about now, but certainly 10 years ago Chinese & Vietnamese "Tubeless" rims had tendency not to have the internal beads to stop the tyre wall from de-seating, the tyre might not have a puncture at all, it could simply have demounted because of the lack of internal beading.

What's up with the windshield defrost/defog? Is it related to problems with the heater? If so, you can buy a 12v plug in electric defrost and velcro that under the glass... Are there electric ports inside for your phone charger, etc?
