At 25 mph I don't see an issue with these. Seems like a golf cart with doors, windows, a/c, heater, and back up camera.
I doubt it has a/c
a/c and heater ?? lol ,, its a rickshaw on 4 wheels and you will replace all those batteries after 1-2 years due to deep discharging
Well better to swap it with a suzuki GXR1000 engine it'll go faster then 25Mph..........😂
@@its.2782 now we are talking 👏🏻
For me that walks or ride a bike for 4 miles to work, this is perfect for it
If the makers of this car were to make a golf cart version of it I feel that would be a huge success in the west with some marketing behind it since it's mechanically better than most golf carts on the market and it's a fraction of their cost.
The problem is that golf carts are used by golfers
And golfers are rich
And rich people care about bragging rights
The can try mc car
Just a note the kingpin axle design is also found on dead axles of medium and heavy duty trucks like semi's. So its not as obsolete as he was making it sound.
This feels like an engineering college students senior project
gotta cut engineering costs too.
I'd love to see the team get ahold of one and just Frankenstein it into being awesome
High school senior project.
@@reallifeengineer7214 that's if they had a STEM track.
@@iamageek500 We usually do our final year projects in teams and it is mainly just about justifying your choices. No way would this project go well as the professors that judge the projects would immediately spot the glaring issues with this car and tell you to redesign everything.
I would probably rather get an electric bike instead of this car for the same price, at least then you would get a couple of quality components.
The fact that these cost less then some Jordan’s just makes me wonder
yup.. imagine paying that much for some shoes you wont even wear..
Fuck all that I got 200 dollar j’s and they are just as nice as any other Jordan
It's called government subsidies.
@vest tbh they really are
It’s not that complicated. Shoe Brands like Jordan tend to retain their exclusivity by charging redundant amounts over the cost of production. Cost em less then $100 to make 1k shoes lmfaoo
Not unlike most "modern" golf carts, which btw cost ten times as much... Most still have DC motors, still use lead acid batteries, still use drum brakes on often only on one set of wheels, still do not feature independent suspension, the list goes on. And as said, the run 10x that price of this Chinese car and are quite popular in lots of communities.
Yea but everyone knows a golf cart is more a toy this is cosplaying as a road legal golf cart. One good accident and your toast
People are paying 10k for golf carts now...?
You know what? I'd love to see one of these being upgraded with some more advanced tech like lithium batteries, better motor, disk brakes etc.
I wanna see someone shove a Tesla motor into one of these
So, he is misleading everyone by talking about the batteries. In fact it doesn't include batteries for that price quoted. You can order it with WHATEVER batteries or brakes or whatever you want, because they are designed to have many applications. The base batteries are lead acid but you can order lithium or just put your own in once it arrives. Also, you can get models around the same price that are AWD and have more power.
Mmm, the ol' "Elderly leisure commuting to pick up children" car. Freakin love it
and the 1-star rating below it
That’s exactly what they call these types of cars in China
Most children would take one look and say 'thanks, but I'll walk' or something to that effect.
haha，this is we chinese call it “老年代步车”，which means elderly scooter。。and I can tell you this thing is completely industrial waste，not safe，and the users usually not follow traffic rules.

@@chantelrhine8965 ah yes, unlike teslas right? or iphones? Slave labor is a massive issue in all industries and industry leaders constantly abuse it. The biggest coffee company in Brazil used slave labor until it was busted a few years ago, if you ever went to starbucks or any big name coffee shop, you probably consumed the product of slave labor.
This car screams jaws of life!

@Jon VB its top speed is 25mph and the range is 40 miles lol id k swap or busa swap it then sell the EV parts so you basically get a free chassis
So has anyone ever added a second motor, (because they aren't expensive) some active cooling for the motors, and then a bit of a battery swap. They have LiFe 12 v fairly cheap that have about half the weight of a sealed lead acid, add in about 10 of those up put an extra battery in series to take it to 72 volts (that's why we are active cooling both motors) and you could end up with something that pushes you around quite a bit faster with more range.(better battery for the win, extra motor helps to) This is just my back of bar napkin thought though.
This is an electric scooter with a cover. Why swap in one busa when you could put in 2? It's a step down from a go cart. It would be a fun project for a student to learn about electricity.
If it could ever go fast enough to crumple that hard on anything. Lmao
If I had the money I would already have one. There are so many modifications I could easily make to improve the ride, range and comfort. I'm definitely gonna try to get one
I love your video about these low-budget DC vehicles. Your information is very accurate and true. I have been in China for 5 years, and I had a 48V 3-wheeler cart that was my car for 2 years. My wife has a Honda Fit, and I get to drive it once in a while. I just wanted to add regarding these vehicles - (I saw Electric Sway's comment, and the golf cart comparison rings true), the motors for these cars are the same rating as the ones for the electric 3-wheelers. My 3-wheeler could get about 25 miles to a charge realistically (brand new 12 volt lead acid "alarm system" tall batteries) with one occupant. 2 points for jest though: I upgraded my 3 wheeler from a 48 volt to a 60 volt for more hp on the parking garage exits, AND, I had the motorcycle shop install a second set of 5 batteries under the front seat to double the range to 50 miles per charge. The upgrade kit involved using 2 chargers for simultaneous charging, 2 breaker switches under the seat to turn one circuit off and the other one on, and an upgraded voltage controller. There are a few "manufacturers" that produce these (sub-$1000) cars around China. Interestingly enough, one of the makers features a (range extender option... lol) single piston lawn mower engine beneath the hood to charge the batteries and operate the vehicle (via DC) for long trips. These cars don't get plated in the big cities, and they would never do more that 35 kph at full throttle. They're a kick in the pants to take on a dirt trail though.. :)

I felt like selling Low Team shirts for 29.97 would be hilarious. Because at the end of the day there is no such thing as a " cheap build " only cheaply built.
Honestly, there are things that are quality, uncomplicated, and therefore inexpensive. If you can get your needs met why pay more for unnecessary options and complications?

AC is wiggly, DC is straight, that's the best description I have ever heard, and I'm an electrical engineer! I'm using it in future lol.
It doesn't tell you very much though, it's like saying that the difference between a diesel engine and a gasoline engine is that one runs on diesel fuel and the other runs on gasoline and while true it doesn't teach you a lot. I don't think that someone who does not know anything about electricity will benefit a lot of knowing how the graphs of voltage as a function of time of AC and DC look alone. It's tailored for this video and works well to quickly explain to you why using DC motors is cheaper but if someone asked you what AC and DC are, then telling them "AC is wiggly, DC is straight" would be in a way like saying "sod off". (INB4 I know that my comment is pointless and nobody cares)
@@wojtekdobrowolski8084 it does when you explain it with picture...
I want to see Donut do more on this. Jalopnik has a good series on a Chang Li one of them bought. I think Donut would be able to one up that by doing their own review series, but then maybe also an interesting series on modding a Chang Li. Bigger motor, more batteries, bigger wheels and tires, Low Truck light bar, maybe a little offroading......
That comealong would be perfect for the Chang Li.

As someone who has experienced the power of a washing machine motor first hand - never underestimate that thing, it's more powerful than it's name implies. Now, as someone who lives in a country where road rage is rare and most city streets are quiet and have slow traffic, I like the idea behind the Chinese box on wheels.

the commercial at the beginning is pure gold.
In China, this type of "car", is call mobility scooter with roof, usually for old people.
Indeed, they are meant for older people who don't have an easy way to get around and already have very low budgets for their everyday needs. It's supposed to give them a modicum of range and Independence to get their groceries or pick up the grandkids at school something they couldn't do anymore if they had to walk. China does have a huge aging population so this might just address a key need over there.
Here in Scandinavia we classify these types of vehicles as a type of moped (assuming that they meet the safety requirements). And they're typically used by young people not old enough to drive cars.
In the UK, it's a quadricycle and you need a motorcycle license unfortunately

Upgrade that washing machine motor to a vehicle starter.

No because it doesn't carry 2 sets of clubs

That explains it.
If your driving is rarely more than a few miles on city streets, that's adequate.

Let's make an analogy with PC GPUs:
Your home suffered a power surge which fried your $1,000+ fancy GeForce RTX 4090; this power surge caught you completely off-guard: you're broke, didn't have a UPS, and your CPU is an Intel's F SKU series, which means that it doesn't have an on-die GPU, thus rendering your PC useless whithout an external GPU. You buy a GeForce GT1030 for ~$30, which while you won't be able to play any games, at least you'll be able to use your PC in other tasks (e.g. vídeo watching, work, etc...) while you save again for another high-end GPU
This tiny thing would be the "car equivalent" of a GT1030, while you wait for your insurance to do anything or save enough money to buy another full-fledged car
These are perfect for zooming around town where you don't need to drive fast to keep up with other traffic.

People never understand how good a cheap car is until they own one. The peace of mind is so joyous.
you can break it, lose it and thrash it, trade it in and get a new one, and you still better off than most people.
I once brought a Toyota rwd pick up and do burn out for a month and sold it, even made most Money back I spent on tires
Only problem is you will probably die if someone runs into you lol

@@foxxyytofficial Ahaha wow that's awesome!
Yall need to bring science garage back!!
I liked that show, i liked Bart... Jeremiah is not bad but wants to sound smart and be funny in a very cringe way... one day i said something like that on donut reddit and got down voted to hell
science garage was under rated. That dudes energy was awesome.
@@jimrustler well he is smart, he’s an engineer. and i think he’s funny as well
@@jantelliquawallace355 facts. I legit learned so much from that guy
ive noticed on other cheap china electric cars, think the same brand. but they used a Chrysler steering wheel and a jeep on/off button. i think there also going thru the left over bin to save costs
This video has the best car advertisement EVER!
It’s $900 before paying shipping and dealing with Customs I was looking to get the truck version of it(pak yak) and it would have been around $6000 to get it
I was eyeballing the truck as well.
Jesus so you pay 5x the cost of the vehicle in shipping? That is insane!
@@brandonreder9869 it's the same issue with getting stuff like JDM parts. The parts are affordable, but the shipping is expensive.
Jason torchinsky bought on and it was 3k all in.
Shipping from China is 6X higher now than it was 2 years ago. Does not effect iPhones much, makes something like this crazy expensive.
Damn, if the shipping cost wouldn't break my back tenfold, I would surely buy a Low truck shirt.
Mhm, its cost $30 then the shipping maybe cost $15, then the country put a tax in it which is can up to $10. People in US can get 2 t-shirt with 5 bucks more & then we only got 1 😂
The cost of a T-shirt plus shipping is a bridge too far?
@@negativeindustrial Ye, when the shipping cost are almost the price of the shirt, then yes, it is too far.
Made worst with the different currency

I can't wait for High Car / Low Car Changli upgrades :D
I can't legally drive to work with this car, but it is definitely an interesting article.
So, who will come first?
The guy that LS swaps it, or the guy that rotary swaps it?
It will be "tesla" swapped before they put those garbage engines in it..
@@FJB2020 HOW DARE YOU CALL THOSE ENGINE GARBAGE AT LEAST THEY MAKE MORE POWER THAN YOUR PRIUS
These things have enough space to fit a 4 banger on it, someone will figure it out.
@@KitKitChanIsaac Prius??? hahahaha.. Wrong tree dude...
I wanna see this turn into a modern hotrod revolution. These cheap electric cars have so much potential. It’s like a giant Rc car. And I’m looking forward to seeing the bike collection, the earned a fan today bro!
My god, you're right! We might experience the 21st century Hot Rods haha
Buy one cheap, replace the motor and batteries, you're off to the races!
Only problem is it costs like 8k to get it shipped to the US
@@bdon175 I mean, if we all chip in...
We need to see a race between these things and an electric golf cart!
This thing's AWESOME, I wanna build one
