I drive an old Volkswagen Golf Mk2 and it has got very special clock. First of all it’s just a normal analog clock, secondly you have to reset it every time you enter the car and lastly when you drive, it does absolutely nothing for about 20 minutes straight and then it jumps ten minutes forward, just like that. I absolutely adore it.

Lol, I used to work for Wheego as an intern in Atlanta. Everything about the car was designed or bought oversees and glued together to hop on the EV hype train. Most parts are off the shelf components and the Curtis motor controller it uses was meant for a golf kart. Fun fact, as the models in circulation started to need replacement parts we ran into a problem with sourcing. Lead times from China aren't great, and some of the parts weren't even being produced anymore. So, the employee Wheegos would be cannibalized to fix customer cars instead. I have fond memories of driving a company Wheego between the office and warehouse with the dash missing and wires dangling everywhere.

The Dacia Spring (Renault City-KZ) EV is trying to bring that slow-golf-cart aura back though, 33kW, a top-speed of 78 mph & 0-62mph in 19.1 seconds, all yours for 8,000 EUR ($9,000USD) in China or 12,500 EUR ($15,000USD) in France. Most other so-called "budget" electric cars are very expensive compared to that! People seem to, nowadays, have the opposite perception that electric cars are very fast, but why should that necessarily be the case if an EV is built with price as the number one priority?

Even 1970s GM cars were better built than then the Wheego heck I'd even say there was less shenanigans going on than you see on Teslas today.

I love your videos, and I like this one (and having just watched the recent battery videos of you combining the battery packs) so much I'm watching it again. 13:06: One thing I absolutely appreciate, expect, and encourage in any car is to absolutely be as obnoxious as physically possible if I leave the lights on. I love that feature.

If you wanted to, you could probably get an app on your phone to log acceleration figures while doing your 0-60 or 0-80. The velocity figure as logged by the phone will accumulate error, but acceleration reading should be pretty good.

Very well presented with point and counterpoint from the owner's pov. I was constantly reminded of a commentary I wrote on a presentation of the crash survivability of a "Smart 4 Two", where one had front ended into a concrete divider at highway speeds. With the front 'bumper' on a vertical line with the windshield, metal crumpled to the driver's thigh bones, I found it ludicrous that they praised the unmarked back of the car. I believe I compared their verbiage as chopping the front of your foot off at the arch and seeking praise for your lack of heel callus. I fondly remember wishing I had your Trabant engine to modify as an engine for one of my bike builds. As another Missourian, machinist and garage engineer, love your videos, keep them coming.

Thanks for all this highly entertaining tinkering... your videos are a great combination of plunders and genuine gems of problem solving. I save your new videos to watch while I am having my Sunday morning two hour breakfasts. And by the way, I am an owner of Citroën version of Mitsubishi Miev... bought it cheap, and now the battery needs serious amateur mechanics dedication..

My Corolla had a similar 0-60, but it was 25 years older. I had the same feelings about it. Terrible car. But a lot of fun to drive. It's something special when the engine is so small that "floor it" was reasonable at all times. To the outside world it was a manual transmission, simply because when you floor it, let off, and floor it again, the car would shift almost on command. I wonder why it suddenly stopped firing on two cylinders...

Funny as always, great content! But 5000 bucks for this?! It doesn't even worth 500 in my book... the ones who have payed over 35000 for it new must have been truly insane. Would be cool to see a Trabant ownership review as well in this length ;-) Also it'd be awesome if you could review a Velorex, if there's one in the USA near you (probably there isn't I guess...)

yeah but as texan's you would kill a wheego in no time cause if the transmission of a wheego gets stripped out in 17 thousand miles of driving how long would that take a texan to put on the car to do it probably 6 months if that you may get lucky and it may take a little longer to do it but still you would kill it cause the wheegos trash on wheels they are breaking right off the dealership floor
