Now, we just need to find our own Rainbow Road… Hell, for this price, we should all chip in for a container and run the entire field of racers. That’s plenty for the three laps of real world Mario Kart racing I want to do in this thing. The company claims a range of 160-200 km (100-125 miles) per charge. That’s nearly 9 kWh of capacity - even more than a base model Zero electric motorcycle! Instead of gas, this electric trike gets its power from a massive 72V and 120Ah lithium-ion battery pack. Just unplug and drive! It seems they offer a 300cc gas version as well, but who wants that?! Plus it’s electric, which is just kind of cool. ![]() A cool $4,800 can make this grown-up man-child trike yours, though you’ll need to tack on a fairly reasonable $430 for sea shipping. That pales in comparison to the 178 hp engine in the real Polaris Slingshot, and it definitely can’t match the Slingshot’s 200 km/h (125 mph) top speed.īut our Chinese version here also costs a lot less than the $20,000 Slingshot. It rocks a 10,000 watt (13.5 hp) motor and hits a maximum speed of 120 km/h (75 mph). And it just happens to be a perfect match for this week’s edition of the Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week series.įirst of all, this isn’t some weak little mini-motorcycle, like I’ve found on Alibaba in the past. This oversized Hotwheels car is a surprisingly cheap electric trike that borrows heavily from the Polaris Slingshot-style genre of mid-life crisis mobiles. Remember the good ol’ days of staying up all night playing Mario Kart, stuffing Cheetos into your face while red-shellin’ your friends from behind? Well, this awesome little three-wheeled electric vehicle I found from China makes me want to try the real-world adult version, maybe just without the snacks and shells. ![]()
