They've been advertising new ones for the past few months over here. With the same claimed 70+ km/h top speed and 8 kW motors.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was based on a Chinese clone with upgraded battery packs.

Or likely just a completely repackaged clone.

Oh... article says it's built by Zongshen. So the latter.

You have a link?

They cost like 1000 usd over here with lead acid. So they could have 1000 usd worth of lithium ion batteries.

I would love to buy one real cheap second hand with a dead battery and make my own lithium ion replacement that i can also transport to the car when needed to make it run alternatorless.

If people were really buying pipes for safety they would face them forward.
