As someone who grew up in China I immediately figured who the intended customers are 😂 It's mostly going to be farmers in villages who needed to commute a mile or so between their home and the farm, and there's not going to be a well paved road anyway, and definitely no need to go beyond 15 mph, so "street legal" isn't even a thing. Nevertheless it's quite interesting you shipped it all the way to America

A friend of mine bought one of these, he is a metal worker and his dad is a trailer welder. They measured>recreated the entire chassis with 304 steel and proper welds. They adjusted the suspension mounts to fit Volswagen Lupo suspension. My dad who is a yacht electrician redid all of the wiring and after that they outsourced a complete repaint. Honestly it's a great vehicle now, however they are now looking for a stronger engine/battery pack to take it to the next step :D

In the Philippines, there are low speed registrations for these vehicles (vehicles limited up to 60kph ~ 38mph). The only caveat is these vehicles are not allowed on expressways, but city and provincial highways, totally legal. These are popular with barangay/sub-district deliveries of purified water (tap water isn't 100% drinkable here), laundry, vegetables and even short family trips.

A good number of plants already use gators or quads with trailers to move small loads around (or just make the operators lives a little easier), getting something that can provide coverage and heat/ac in a similar foot print would actually be useful. Speed limits are usually no more than 15-30km/h within the plants anyway and if they're following the pipe to a wellsite or something it's usually decently flat land.

It’s good to know what to expect as the final destination price. I don’t believe I’ve seen enough information on that in particular. These electric vehicles make a lot of sense to me. There’s much more efficient ways of doing the same job without having to depend on fossil fuel dependent vehicles and all the other messy fluids & leaks involved. Finding a suitable niche as you have done, can show to the masses how useful these can be !

Or are you just mad that it was some American worker, and not you, who essentially gobbled up chunks of that $6000, which was charged on top of a product sold at $2000 (which itself almost certainly used American components). Moreover, are you seriously arguing that the 1%, who you say don't care about you, instead care about China? Lol, trust yourself, the Americans don't go around the world to stimulate anything, much less China; they go around the world looking for maids, and since no one other than China accepted such a bltch role, out of laziness no less, things are made in China, and even then, just nominally made in China. As a result, I too am in favor of completely decoupling the world economy, just so that Americans don't get to turn around and force the Chinese, along with the rest of the world, into buying overpriced "Made in America" junk, which effectively forces others to subsidize the American lifestyle. This way, when China complains about the status quo, I won't have to hear about such bipartisan gems as the usual anti-China propaganda dressed as a born-again anti-"Communist" fervor, all to stave off the eventual realization that one can only stimulate the economy by not having a bunch of uneducated lazy bums more interested in scapegoating China than upgrading their own skill set.

We had a similar situation when some people started using Indian made battery "Cars" in London. They were(are) called Gwizz. No way they would ever pass the car safety tests so they got round them by selling it as a Quadracycle, a covered quad bike. Although it obviously wasn't, it was a car. I saw one have a head on with a London black taxi. Relatively low speed, probably no more than 20 to 25mph combined speed. The entire bodywork was ripped off the chassis and burst open. The Taxi didn't even break it's headlights and drove away from the accident.

I doubt he's gonna drive it on anything more than his property, and a couple back roads.......Its supposed to replace a golf cart, not an actual truck.

Take off all the small parts, lights etc and use spray on bedliner on the entire thing. Sound dampening, chip proofing and structural improvement all in one. 😁🤙

Yeah forget the fact that it’s going to make the thing weigh twice as much meaning it’s gonna lose top speed and torque… 😒 the thing barely reaches 25mph why would you add all that weight? 😩

@@gnar4614 no quite the opposite. If correctly applied, spray on bedliner will not release from surface even during deformation. It will stick like paint. The one you are thinking of is the loose plastic bedliners/tubs factories add to their trucks. Those trap water and dirt, not releasing it and all twisting during the driving acts like wetsanding.

@@gnar4614 I've worked with Vortex spray on bedliner for years. Properly cleaned, and roughed surface will NOT allow it to come off or peel off. It will be like welded to the surface. P.S. Don't think 20 years longevity is expected of any part of this vehicle.

I really enjoyed your video. This was a real eye opener when it comes to the add-on costs of importing a vehicle like this. Thank you.
