It would be an interesting ride on the golf course.

Pretty mind-blowing - that's a lot of manufacturing for $3500, but in what monetary system ? Aussie ? Kiwi ?

Aside from the dinky wheel/tire setup, and apparently crude suspension, it's impressive.

it's a crudely built electric golf cart with sheetmetal bodywork. to make it look like a truck.
at $3500 it's cheaper than most golf carts on the market. i wonder for that $3500 is shipping included with the price or did they conveniently forget to mention shipping cost in the quoted price?
the other questions to consider it driving range and how reliable / durable will it be in multiple years of ownership in driving it in less than ideal conditions? or will it be scrap it after 1 season of use.


perception is 90% of reality

Looking at where the motor is mounted and the 'quality' of the electronics under the hood...I would guess it will not be a long term unit

Well yeah, it's pure Chinesium, and with no regard for copyright laws or intellectual property.
And the hosts are obviously shilling for the company, who I'd bet paid for the production of the commercial/episode.

Do you remember those miniature crotch rocket bikes from the 80's and 90's, like a Kawasaki Ninja but mini bike. You can get those for $250 on Amazon...not as good or fast, but still

That’s what I was thinking. Beats a golf cart.

If they were to redesign it, better steering, I could see it taking the golf cart market over in just three years, world wide in 5 years. I suspect this is a startup company pushing to see how the mini electric recreational vehicle would do.

I saw a Suzuki utility/mini truck- type tiny vehicle recently. It was so small and being driven on the street. I'm sure it was much better quality than this mini RAM but I wouldn't want to have to try and get parts for it- nor would I want to be in any accident with it.


Keep old mopars alive.
