When I recently took a trip to China to see the world of electric micromobility, I was greeted with a…
It’s a shame that anything close to that will never come to the U.S.
Never say never.
Even if they did, they’d never sell. Everyone in America is so batshit insane with the expectation of everything NOW-NOW-NOW that practically no one would tolerate a “truck” that can’t do 120 MPH or 0-60 in 4 seconds.
On the more prosaic side, there is no way in hell these things would pass American crash safety tests nor comply with vehicle equipment and safety regulations without a significant redesign that would add a lot of complexity and cost. Maybe you could get them rammed through as “motorcycles.” They would have the same stigma as motorcycles among the general populace. These things would be absolute litigation machines in the US.
You mean like a 4 wheeled UTV? They sell them all the time. What are you talking about?
You mean a 3 wheeler? Yeah, because they kept killing people. 4 wheeled UTVs are very popular.
Looks awesome! Jealous of the creater, I’d love to tour China someday.
Hello mister ccp tourism board intern!
Its a 3 wheeled electric utv. We moved away from 3 wheeled designs because theyre dangerous. Basically, china made another cheap dangerous product.
You can buy an 4 wheeled electric UTV at tractor supply and other retailers, and they wont try to flip over and crush your head like a watermelon.

Slingshots are a common sight on American roadways, and they’ve only got three wheels. The difference is that slingshots are designed to end run vehicle regulations, while these appear to still be bound by Chinese regulatory standards.

No shortage of large trucks and SUVs that will flip at high speeds, particularly in the rain or during hard turns.
Those are a reverse trike, and made to sit low, and they have roll bars so it rests on those instead of your head.
China did the opposite of those things.
