I drank the Kool-Aid and took delivery of an All Electric sub-sub compact utility vehicle and absolutely love it!!

Although the tire is more of an R3, I’m thinking an R4 type would allow for more pulling power even though it does extremely well as is. Adding tow hooks or a receiver hitch, however, is going to take some thinking.

On the plus side: This thing is awesome!! Charge time is 4 hours or less from a 30% charge state (recommended not to use below 30%). Top speed is stated to be 30 mph but we shall see about that later on down the road. Power is available to climb even my steep ditch banks and has no trouble keeping up speed on long gentle slopes. I can use it all week around the 18 acres here on a single charge! The ECM and Bluetooth app monitors battery status and charge, speed, trip and lifetime odometer, etc., and will log & store individual trips. Almost ready to go out of the box, but there’s a plethora of programming changes you can make to customize the ride characteristics.

I’m finding this to be much more convenient than getting the ATV out for quick trips around the place. And compared to the ATV, this unit is virtually noiseless. All you hear is tire noises from the ride. It doesn’t get any better than that. The only drawback is the available color option doesn’t include Kubota orange.

OP's post doesn't include what he got, so maybe he drank something besides Koolaid. ;)

Seriously though, model/brand would be helpful.

You supposed to mix koolaid with water, not vodka before posting. :LOL:

Yikes! My picture didn't get attached last night and then I got caught up in and fell asleep during a FIFA soccer match. My apologies for keeping you all guessing!!

Here's the new sub sub-compact all electric vehicle:
Sub compact utility vehicle.jpeg

I also forgot to mention the best part: There's only room for one person on it so I can escape by myself when the situation calls for it!!:ROFLMAO:

I've never seen one before, let alone try one out. It was a little discouraging the first few hours in the back yard not being able to go 15 feet before having to either jump off or eat grass. Then a youtube tutorial suggested changing my foot placement (right foot forward) and that made all the difference in the world! A couple of hours practicing turns and stops and it was off to the races.

The lifetime odometer says I've racked up 143 miles on it as of a couple of days ago. The miles pile up quick when you're having so much fun. One day included a 17+ mile trip on the city's paved greenway trails in just over 90 minutes. That was a confidence builder in both the wheel and the rider.

There's a lot of technology in the unit between the wheel/motor, battery maintenance system, and the electronic speed controller and program. It's pretty much self balancing (forward/backwards) and the rider balances side to side and to accommodate the turning.

I think the motor is around 800 watts, so roughly 1 HP. 15MPH is a nice cruising speed. 21MPH was wild, at least for me. I can't imagine cruising at 30MPH unless you have a death wish. But talk about fun! It's like slalom skiing on land without needing anyone to drive a boat! Especially for this 72 year old!!

Edit: This is Fungineer's "Funwheel" model X7LR (X7 Long Range)

You'd have to pick up something like this in order to have your favorite beverage along on the ride. A side benefit would be that it could somewhat pass for your headgear protection??
