It would be an interesting ride on the golf course. Thank-goodness copyright infringement doesn't count in China

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

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. 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

You could drive it on the street in Arizona That’s what I was thinking. Beats a golf cart.

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.
