This was a big leap for me. There's no sound or vibration to inform you what or how it's doing. So that has taken some getting used to. But it goes when you ask it to. Thanks for watching ✌️
@@DrJeff-iq7dk Hey Dr Jeff.... I'm working on it. Been held up by work and laziness 🤪 I will get one out ASAP. I hope this day has found you well and everything is going smooth ✌️
I like its "utility" shape, its 1/2 size solid doors (instead of small mini-skirt doors), its side mirrors and its front windshield. It appears to be a 3-seater bench. Can you confirm its seating details? It also appears to need a front center ceiling height rear view mirror (which could be a low cost Amazon Add-On). I I'd like to know more details about its max ground speed, its suspension, its battery life, etc. etc. Personally, I like electric - especially its very quiet engine sound. Great for on the farm, around animals and near the edge of sensitive ear neighbors. I'd like to know more details about its performance, its F & R shifting, its 4x4 shifting, its ride comfort and average ground distance (before recharge). Also... Do you re-charge it at normal auto vehicle EVI charge station? Or, a special charging station?
@@10drowsy Check out my first video on this unit. "First look at the KANDI heavy duty UTV" That will answer most of your questions. I've had mine for a year now and even though it had a breakdown, I would buy it again. It's a good machine. Hauling, towing traversing my mountain. You can ride three on the bench seat. I hope this and my other videos helps to answer your questions. Thanks for watching ✌️
Good morning... Check out my other videos on this channel to see the cowboy tow, haul, log and run the trails here in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Where you always seem to be making a steep long climb 🙂 Thanks for watching ✌️
Did you ever uncover the squeak? I’ve had mine for a month and it seems like the brakes squeak when getting going or stopping. Didn’t know if I need to adjust them or if they’ll ever smooth out. I only have around 10 miles driven but the sound is loud and annoying. Thx for the videos. I purchased mine through Lowe’s which has them listed for $12,900
The squeak has lessened. It's not annoying enough to swap them out for a better break pad but that's what I'll do when it's time for a change. My CF Moto c Force 600 is the same way. It's more pronounced on the cowboy because it's so quiet. Thanks for watching ✌️
@@thekingrexway: did it help? I watched several videos of you, but I never see your beast working. You are driving with it, like with a normal car, or not even. I would like to order one, but I have my doubts. Only a range of 30 miles with almost no speed? Are 3 LiFePo batteries built in?
Been watching all your videos , after 3 months finally bought a Kandi innovator , my first drive at the house noticed an issue , when I take my foot off the accelerator on a flat road , the car slows a little but will continue to keep doing until I press the brake hard enough to stop it completely or put the direction switch in neutral then it coasts to a stop , it does the same in reverse , can you believe the dealer who sold it says its normal , will yours do the same ? Thanks , Vince.
@@vincefarnesi8506 Hey Vince, good evening... Yes sir. The motors aren't really gears for slowing down. I wish it was more like that because of the terrain in my area. It would be more of a controlled descent with heavier loads. There was a learning curve to this machine for me because it's just not like anything I grew up with. Change is difficult 😜 I hope this helps. Congratulations, the Innovator is a sportier looking model 👍 Thanks for watching and ENJOY ✌️
@@thekingrexway Thanks for the reply,, I mean on a flat road mine keeps going as if you have slight throttle applied,, I have owned 3 Polaris Ranger EVs and lots golf carts , love electric buggies , never could imagine the factory selling a machine that continues to go with no throttle applied.,, when the dealer says they messaged Reggie , he said its normal for this.,,,,I climbed a dirt hill till it got grounded and I can get of the buggie and the tires continue to turn at a high rate of speed till I reach in and turn it off.
@vincefarnesi8506 Huh... now that does sound odd. Is there any way you can get all four wheels off the ground to see if there is a little power being applied? The throttle might not be returning to zero power when you let off. Mine does still coast pretty good even when I'm on level ground but it does start to slow down when I let off of the throttle. Now..... when I get one of the corners up in a climb, that tire spins long after I release the throttle but it does come to a complete stop. Curious to hear what you find.
@@thekingrexway yes sir ,, if all four wheels are off the ground it will run until I turn the machine off ,,,,not using u as a sounding board , just curious if im an isolated issue ,, I do appreciate your responses , I still hope to hear back from Reggie , even sent him a video of this strange operation ,, it is as well a safety issue ,,,,,thanks again !!!
@vincefarnesi8506 Keep me posted please. Reggie is good with keeping up he just doesn't have a lot of people in his department. So.... take a handful of patience and enjoy your day 🙂

@@duckbuckgoose Good evening.... I am not compensated or affiliated with KANDI America. Nor do I have any investment in the company.

There are roughly... 171,000 car fires per year in the US. That an average of 300+ per day, or 1 every 5 minutes. Headlines don't tell the whole story. Don't be afraid of the boogie man. Thanks for watching ✌️
@@thekingrexway Its amazing how people think batteries catch fire way more than gasoline.

Try squirting a little white lithium grease on your A-arm bushings. I’ll bet that will help get rid of your squeak.
