They may know he's an influencer, but know that you or I have basically no legal recourse with goods purchased from China. The Chinese government does not care and the US government has no power. They could send you a vehicle that's a total lemon and breaks in three weeks and you would have no buyer protection, as alibaba gives only the most basic protection with returns for 2-weeks, and likely you would have to pay the return shipping fee which for a truck could be huge since you don't get the commercial discounted shipping rates.

@@Simonisms Its just so much safer to buy from a distributor in your own country, as then they have to abide by all laws in your country and you have full protection of the law. With a Chinese company direct import, if there is any problem, you're at the mercy of the kindness of the company of a Chinese company that often change names every couple of years and have virtually no brand value to protect in general, as they don't have a culture of forming long term relationships with their customers the way say Apple does.

Haha, I have to tell you that my 70-year-old neighbor has a similar one. I'm in China. He uses it to pick up his granddaughter to kindergarten every day. The factory in China deliberately reduced the power of the vehicle's engine so that he could not drive very fast, so he did not need a license or even a driver's license. It has air conditioning, can protect against wind and rain, can also transport goods if necessary, and even better, it is very slow to ensure safety, which meets almost all the needs of an elderly person. Sorry I really want to laugh when I look at your young face. This is really an old man's car. 😄 I hope the car exported to the US has a better engine.

I purchased a 55 hp 4x4 backhoe from Alibaba. Took over 2 months to get to Panama. Got to the port to pick up the backhoe from the RoRo and the batteries were dead. Had to pay a $125 port jump off fee. Ok, I paid it. Finally got it to my coconut plantation 8 hours away. Jump in the cabin and found out all my electric switches were turned on. A nice little battery charge scam from the port of Panama. So, I imagine his batteries will be dead being in a shipping container for over a month.

The dump bed sells the whole deal! I would say this vehicle and ones like it could replace 90% of our cars and huge trucks we drive. And we would have so much more fun! I am not agonist big trucks and suvs, I love them, but we had a Austin minor converted to a pickup truck in the ‘70’s, if it had been electric it would have been perfect. Mostly in town driving, we bought and sold items so we’re always needing a small pickup bed. Each stop was like a celebrity photo shoot! Taking all the kids to festivals and fairs and swap meets, and it went everywhere! Looking forward to your first drive .

I'm a retired autoworker and found your video on this truck to be amazing. I never would have thought it possible to purchase a vehicle at this price in today's market. I purchased a Honda car in 1971 and it cost me less than $2 thousand dollars, tax, title, and out the door. It only had a 600cc engine and was the first model Honda imported to the USA. I wish I still had that little car. I got over 40 miles per gallon with the car. It was so small that it had a plastic trunk. It would never pass the rigged restrictions imposed on American cars today. I would like to save up my little retirement income to purchase either the same truck model or the car model.

*If considering this, from what I've seen...:* 1. Consider a nearly identical crew cab model with 4 doors, make bed extension over tailgate if desired. 2. Forget $2,000, the costs usually come out closer to $3,500+/-$500 with options, usually a motor and/or battery upgrade. 3. Most report $2,500+/-$500 total shipping and transportation, totaling out $5,000 to $6,000. 4. Most importers/resellers charge $8,000 or more, so probably worthwhile to pursue yourself. 5. Frequently takes a very long time to ship. 6. Because of cost, time, and interest I would suggest ordering more than 1, selling the others in their stripped down version, look at how many can fit into 1 shipping container. 7. Getting street legal has been a mixed bag, generally but not always considered the same as a golf cart (check state regs), check HOA regulations if using as golf cart in a private community. 8. Most report it is built well, only knocks have been rough suspension and rust on the underside, might check on getting rust proofing, or coating the bottom with pickup bed liner with periodic touchup. 9. Primary use has been getting around and light work on large properties, think of it as replacing a John Deere Gator or golf cart. Personally I think this would have been great on our family farm, replacing using a pickup just to deliver bodies, tools, parts, meals, etc. to/from the fields. 10. Common upgrades have been solar panels to extend battery, piston for bed lift (I would suggest a heavy electric linear actuator or similar), DC to AC power convertors for 120Vac, short wave radios, I think factory offers AC. I would also suggest spray in bed liner, tie downs, removable bed covering, seat covers, spare tire, see if can add a 2nd set of batteries, and your choice of racing striped or a monster truck custom paint job.

I would be very interested in a truck like that. I currently have an electric golf cart for my camping trips. Working on upgrading the electronics to solid state and also upgrading the motor. I am new to the whole lithium battery scene.so therefore I bought your book on lithium batteries. Haven't read it yet but will soon as I am getting quite a collection of cells. I want to build an electric bike for my wife and I to use while camping as well. Great videos and full of info. Keep up the great work Micah, till next vid take care.

If performance is even half way decent then these are the types of electric vehicles I want to own. I don’t care about speed so much even though everyone else on the road does. I love smart design in compact form that doesn’t break the bank. The U.S. just feels so far behind on so many levels right now.

The main issue with these little guys in the US is our speed limits are just higher then what they're made for. This thing would have trouble keeping up on half the roads in town, and going to the next town over is out of the question. You do see them here and there in small communities where the speed limit is 20-25 everywhere.

From India - Such cars/pickup trucks need to break the $2500 mark to be affordable in India. Most of base-level cars start at INR 2 - 2.5 lakh , Till they don't come to that sort of level it would be hard for most Indians to pay the sort of premium the truck has. I'm talking strictly from an Indian perspective. $1= INR 75 (roughly) .

My friend brought a Chinese small tractor with a dump bed . It is a single cylinder diesel like 600 cc . . Had it brand new last year and all it costs was £700 delivered to the UK . He just picked it up at Cardiff . It was in a container with lots of other motorbikes and stuff . The tractor runs fine . How can they make these things so cheap ?
