Quote:
I have test drove one one of these china smart knock-offs, here is my inital impressions:
- The construction is shotty at best, very cheap fiberglass. Interior is the cheeziest plastic I have ever seen.
- Seats are tiny and uncomfortable, if your larger than 5'5 and 125 lbs, your going to have a hard time fitting in this.
- The ride is super rough, like a go cart with no suspension just the axels welded to the frame, truely a filling-rattling-loose experance.
- The motor and transmission is super I mean SUPER loud, sounds like riding a large cordless electric drill with a bad gear in it. At 30 MPH (they don't come speed limited, I got this one up to about 40 on a down hill) the motor and transmission was so loud you couldn't carry on a conversation.
