Well you don’t repair batteries.. having lithium batteries that can be gouged when going over rocks is a pretty terrible design feature. lithium batteries not only present a fire hazard but can be explosive especially if exposed lithium from an impact or over heating comes in contact with water. Get lead batteries if you plan on using this even in light off-road scenarios.

@@texasstudios29 I think it has some advantages over either one of those. Although I'm a fan of both. It has a 1 ton payload, and can dump said payload easily, the fact that it's electric means you don't have to deal with gasoline, it's quiet, and is therefore less likely to scare livestock. Also, it's much cheaper.
frankly, i would opt for this instead of a cybertruck anytime. this is an acutally genuenly usefull thing to have around the house, and in a small town.
Why do all that, when you can get an old Honda CX500 or GL500 for like 400$ on Craigslist. 60 horsepower, shaft driven, v2, It would be perfect in this thing, you prolly save about 200 pounds without the battery's and electric motor, and 60 horsepower I'd bet this thing rips
It would be super easy just to ad a generator, and give it some serious range. I don't think I would push that thing past 45 mph - your likely to get uncontrollable body vibrations especially if you try to put a 670 in it. That would be enough to get it to go 80mph, and my guess would be it would go airborn about 65mph.

On another vid the guy's truck after he added air conditioning, tilting bed, the upgraded battery and shipping (that alone was $2,200) then another $500 to have it picked up at the dock and dropped off at his house, he said total was close to $7,000.

Have you seen the MIDI car with compressed air travel? Do you think if you have seen it could run the car on perpetual recharge as it’s driving if combined?
I think the wuling mini ev is a great car for the price. The specs are really impressive and more than enough for daily commute. Am not surprised it’s the best selling electric car in China right now.
I've been looking at a bunch of videos of these and it seems like a very fun little truck. I had a question whether the truck has any space under the hood? I've been thinking if I bought this I would want to swap it with a small engine for more speed/power. Do y'all think that is a possibility for a truck like this?
Hey joshua, there is space in the front in a lot of the ones we currently bring in. There is an AC unit up there. We should get it without AC on a custom order for you and then there’s a little bit more room for something like that.
Price: $1200 in Alibaba. The battery comes separately and you have top purchase it for around $500. Shipping cost is around $900 and the tax for import is around $300. I have been hearing you could pay any amount from $4k to $5k due all the to cargo ship bs companies have been going through. A friend paid $3k back then when times were better, Yes, it is street legal as a low speed vehicle.
@@isleofmann1088 I could see it as a haybale shifter/feedbag mover. Usage case would be pretty niche But I see plenty of vehicles in that niche In the farming/outdoor community

Kudos to Changli. Thank you for the reviews sweety. As I age I'm realizing that I drive slower and I desire a scooter to feel outdoorsy like the tractors that I drove as a youngster. I want a faster mobility 4wheeler. We're talking 18 mph. So what, if anything, do you know about those? I know you are right about the future of E-cars etc...definitely the way to go. These smaller ones are the way to stay mobile for older people on fixed incomes and smaller budgets. Thanks, babe; them arms are big and there is still voltage left in us old girls chassis so if you see us stairing we are either charged up or reminiscing.
>>These smaller ones are the way to stay mobile for older people on fixed incomes and smaller budgets. Except they don't bother to tell you that these are not street legal and never will be. I'm brand new to this channel as of today, and I'm going to block them because it's such a turnoff that they fail to mention this "minor detail."

It will all depend on the area regulations. We have golf cart communities all over Florida, and all that's required to have them street legal is to have headlights, taillights, and some form of brakelight. Mirrors and turn signals are optional I believe. It wouldn't hurt to check on the farm equipment regulations just for the hell of it, you might be able to get away with just having to hang a big orange triangle off the back of it.

Whelp! Like most American companies this vehicle comes from China with a cost of $2,000 to $3,000 with air conditioning(verified), but as typically, the American marketers want to Jack that up at $10,000 to $15,000 and gouge the American public. Generally these vehicles are certified for off-road use only. It does not cost that much to import this vehicle and if it does you're doing something wrong.
Other people say it costs 2,200 to ship to united states like miami. Then cost of shipping to your state 500.00. 2,000 for the base model which has smaller battery no air conditionong etc
But someone else said theres an awesome japanese made mini truck. Gas powerwd roughly same cost and street legal? Thats all i know about the japanese one
The base model of the truck costs 2,100$ WITHOUT any batteries and to import it it costs 3k dollars with the possible added possible cost of getting a customs fee and if you want a/c and a dump bed your gonna spend 9k dollars so for them to charge 7-10k is VERY reasonable because they have to make money also
These little trucks, being electric, have one or four motors ? Which means, are they true 4x4s or are they normal 2 wheel drives? Also, I'm 6'4" tall with a 38" inseam (long legs) and around 300 pounds. Would I fit?
Single motor to rear diff. Specs are on alibaba, and as far as fitting is concerned I am 6'5, and a Toyota Tacoma is uncomfortable to me - so I seriously doubt it.
@@stxflyer He asked if it would be comfortable, and it is very unlikely. If I could get it cheap I would put a snowmobile engine in it, and an isuzu 4wd drive train that could be had for a few bucks, and then sell it. truth is that shipping problems are making chinese goods no longer worth buying. I do think it is cute, and someone would buy it for the right price.
What i want to see is it being used as a truck, hauling firewood chainsaws and axes, in and out of the woods like a truck is supposed to!it looks nimble enough for getting into and out of tight places, but will it hold up! I have inspected these vehicles a few years ago in Indonesia, and their welds left little to be desired of, they sounded tinny a d looked unsafe at any speed, have they changed that much? The other issue i see is with it being electric, what is the life expectancy of the batteries, how long does it take to charge, and what will be the cost of replacement batteries? What i would like to see is the drivetrain and suspension because if nothing else it may be a feasible alternative to a JD Gator, Or Kubota side by side truckster!
@@CountChilly i did watch that video, it was quite informative, but it really didn’t show a “ real world usage” as a truck! I am using a lawn tractor and small trailer to go deep into the woods to gather firewood then loading everything into my pickup to come out . It really limits what i can haul because the lawn tractor and trailer are on the back of the flatbed trailer with 1/3 load of wood, and the bed of the truck is loaded with firewood. So I don’t get more then a face cod of wood on any given day! I have looked at a “Gator and a Kubota “ but the price tag is a bit much right now, and can’t be driven 2 miles down our road to get into the woodlands, where as this might be able to!
@@thesmallwoodlot433 It's more like a toy or a means of transportation for daily commute. I don't think they are meant for heavy-duty work. If you want it to work that way probably needs a lot of modifications.
I'm 99% sure those are deep discharge marine batteries, same as used for trolling motors and golf carts (just more of them). The original Changli with fewer batteries charged in 4 hours, so maybe 6-8. People charge the boat ones off 110v, I deeply doubt these could take more. (Not Li-Ion batts, price is too low.)
Great Video - can you provide some links to get us started if we wanted to order our own just Like you did ? You mentioned it was ‘ not that easy’ but you finally got it to happen - I’d really like if you could elaborate on that for us . Thnx ~
It looks good, but I don't see myself expending 10k for a not road legal vehicle (in MD) that is not for the track. Otherwise, it would be a huge Hit as a commuter vehicle.
The 1.5 to 3k is just for the truck itself. Often times it doesn't even include the batteries, and then there's the cost of shipping it, the custom fees, the loading and unloading fees, the cost of having a truck deliver it to your home, not to mention you have to fill out the paper work perfectly otherwise you'll have to pay a bunch more fees. These guys who "over charge" cover all of those things for you and it's all included in the price. Also, the "pro model" that they're showing in this video is a mod they do themselves after the car arrives in the states. Frankly, if I was ordering one of these, I would go through one of these groups just to make sure everything was done right.
damn that would be great for just doing small errands like grocery shopping or heading to Home Depot etc...within a reasonable distance obviously...Omg I love it (especially the larger ATV tires)...Hopefully the windshield wiper fluid /motor is good. Canadian roads here in the city of Toronto can be salt infested to the point that your windshield ends up being white on a clear winters day...lol...Wonder if those vehicles are allowed on city streets here in Canada...me ponders this while I imagine driving one to the supermarket in my mind.😁
The ability to easily get to the batteries from under the bed of the truck for repairability is a kick ass feature!
Yep! this is why i will never buy an EV with built in batteries... its like buying a flashlight with non removable AA's
Orr to do up-grades eg, fit Tesla modules or home made battery packs :):)

The base model of the truck costs 2,100$ WITHOUT any batteries and to import it it costs 3k dollars with the possible added possible cost of getting a customs fee and if you want a/c and a dump bed your gonna spend 9k dollars so for them to charge 7-10k is VERY reasonable because they have to make money also
wow this thing is amamzing i want one of these mabey mod it out for some extra power in the future one day
This would be a perfect cruzer here in Hawaii
I won’t lie; Chinese or no, I’d love having one! (Especially the Pro model!) 😌
Are those two fans in the roof what you consider air conditioning?
Whats the weight limit on these things? Like how much driver/ passenger weight limits
These little trucks, being electric, have one or four motors ? Which means, are they true 4x4s or are they normal 2 wheel drives? Also, I'm 6'4" tall with a 38" inseam (long legs) and around 300 pounds. Would I fit?
One motor and call yourself lucky.
Single motor to rear diff. Specs are on alibaba, and as far as fitting is concerned I am 6'5, and a Toyota Tacoma is uncomfortable to me - so I seriously doubt it.
@@MegaMeaty Why are you knocking the truck because you're tall.
@@stxflyer He asked if it would be comfortable, and it is very unlikely. If I could get it cheap I would put a snowmobile engine in it, and an isuzu 4wd drive train that could be had for a few bucks, and then sell it. truth is that shipping problems are making chinese goods no longer worth buying. I do think it is cute, and someone would buy it for the right price.
Aww how cute...little trucks for kids
I would like to see a video on how you guys adapted the ATV tires to this truck!!
COOL LITTLE TRUCK
would it be possible to increase the speed from 35mph to maybe 65mph
That’s what I want to know
What i want to see is it being used as a truck, hauling firewood chainsaws and axes, in and out of the woods like a truck is supposed to!it looks nimble enough for getting into and out of tight places, but will it hold up!
I have inspected these vehicles a few years ago in Indonesia, and their welds left little to be desired of, they sounded tinny a d looked unsafe at any speed, have they changed that much?
The other issue i see is with it being electric, what is the life expectancy of the batteries, how long does it take to charge, and what will be the cost of replacement batteries?
What i would like to see is the drivetrain and suspension because if nothing else it may be a feasible alternative to a JD Gator, Or Kubota side by side truckster!
Watch EbikeSchool new one
@@CountChilly i did watch that video, it was quite informative, but it really didn’t show a “ real world usage” as a truck!
I am using a lawn tractor and small trailer to go deep into the woods to gather firewood then loading everything into my pickup to come out . It really limits what i can haul because the lawn tractor and trailer are on the back of the flatbed trailer with 1/3 load of wood, and the bed of the truck is loaded with firewood. So I don’t get more then a face cod of wood on any given day!
I have looked at a “Gator and a Kubota “ but the price tag is a bit much right now, and can’t be driven 2 miles down our road to get into the woodlands, where as this might be able to!
@@thesmallwoodlot433 It's more like a toy or a means of transportation for daily commute. I don't think they are meant for heavy-duty work. If you want it to work that way probably needs a lot of modifications.
@@haha-eg8fj you maybe surprised at what they can do!
I'm 99% sure those are deep discharge marine batteries, same as used for trolling motors and golf carts (just more of them). The original Changli with fewer batteries charged in 4 hours, so maybe 6-8. People charge the boat ones off 110v, I deeply doubt these could take more. (Not Li-Ion batts, price is too low.)
can you add more batteries for a longer drive time?
Would love to get one of these to do a fundraiser with for my scout troop. How can we get one.
Were I live these could be driven on the city streets. Do you import them?
You can spec it with real ac. It adds 2 giant knobs on top dash
I wonder if you could modify this and add more battery modules where the bed is
With a little fabrication you could probably add some either for more voltage or more capacity, then tell the controller.
Great Video - can you provide some links to get us started if we wanted to order our own just
Like you did ? You mentioned it was ‘ not that easy’ but you finally got it to happen - I’d really
like if you could elaborate on that for us . Thnx ~
I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada, wondering if you have heard of anyone getting these trucks registered in their province.
Same here I have several contractor and handyman friends who want these NOW.
It would be a nice thing for American auto makers to produce something like this for the American people who made these companies so big
Dis is the made in China 😁 not by American
We have...they're called golf carts.
@@mikeythesquid1427 cool your golf cart has a truck bed? what's it called?
@@youredxspanktube a golf cart with a truck bed.
Hey, does it work in heavy rain?
Would be great with a mini plow to use on my driveway in the winter
It's only 2 wheel drive
3 1/2 Hp, you wont be pushin nothing!
@@reefer2917 on a flat driveway it could push 2 to 3 inches of snow
@@tygur23 What you call snow I call fluff. That thing is not going to push even an inch of real snow.
@@MegaMeaty not interested in what you call anything
Is there any storage under the front hood of the pick up?
Will you be making a video of The Grunt Pro? Would very much like to see a walk through of that vehicle.
Looks like they have a lot of 0-1 Red switches and they sticked them to everywhere :D
Awesome video bro. Are they street legal? Thank you for uploading this video, I would love to buy one. Take care and God Bless, be safe.
I wonder if it could be registered in Pennsylvania
It looks good, but I don't see myself expending 10k for a not road legal vehicle (in MD) that is not for the track. Otherwise, it would be a huge Hit as a commuter vehicle.
10k for a 2200$ truck. Shipped to your door. Can be less. Learn Chinese and ask the factories yourself instead of buying from these kinds of guys 😒
you can get them for 1,5-3k (depending on which model) if you get them straight from the supplier on alibaba. These guys overcharge.
The 1.5 to 3k is just for the truck itself. Often times it doesn't even include the batteries, and then there's the cost of shipping it, the custom fees, the loading and unloading fees, the cost of having a truck deliver it to your home, not to mention you have to fill out the paper work perfectly otherwise you'll have to pay a bunch more fees. These guys who "over charge" cover all of those things for you and it's all included in the price. Also, the "pro model" that they're showing in this video is a mod they do themselves after the car arrives in the states. Frankly, if I was ordering one of these, I would go through one of these groups just to make sure everything was done right.
What price?
How can I buy one in Florida?
damn that would be great for just doing small errands like grocery shopping or heading to Home Depot etc...within a reasonable distance obviously...Omg I love it (especially the larger ATV tires)...Hopefully the windshield wiper fluid /motor is good. Canadian roads here in the city of Toronto can be salt infested to the point that your windshield ends up being white on a clear winters day...lol...Wonder if those vehicles are allowed on city streets here in Canada...me ponders this while I imagine driving one to the supermarket in my mind.😁
I’d say rust protection is minimal, salty roads equals rust chassis
Dose it come in a 4 wheel drive ?? And what size are the tires ??
Cool idea. Could be a game changer. Are these vehicles DOT approved?
No unfortunately not DOT approved.
cool video and great info. thanks a lot
Do it w/o the bed lift, then put extra batteries in it for extended range!
You can still add more batteries and keep the lift bed.
I love this EV ❤❤❤. Green future is coming 🎉
That thing would be cool to put a flat bed on
Hello nice car love your videos 😊
Just slap a 3 cylinder geo metro engine and bam! Instant 69 mpg considering its super light weight.
That or put a ATV motor in it
Just run a genset bolted into the back and upgrade the motor.
Seem like the bed need a return spring and need reg FM radio where A/C any 4x4 model ?
Где такие производят? Маленькие пикапы? Чудесно! Где такие продают?
thanks
Couldn't this be made rosd legal by simply registering it a kit car?
Like many people do with their homemade or assembled kit cars?
No this truck is not legal it dont meet the safety requirements of a road truck or car.
