$31,000 CHINESE SCAM CAR | First Drive 

Its a reverse lexus, thats why it runs faster in reverse

Elon Musk: "Damn, who leaked model 1 to the public?"

Need to turn the radio down and you will get another 10 mph out of the battery.

Get in contact with Doug Demuro for having him review and give it a Doug Score - It will probably become one of his most viewed vids (you both should benefit)

For some reason this thing puts a smile on my face

My housemate has been waiting over 3 months for a bicycle he purchased from China. It is supposed to be arriving today. I've sent him on this video in order to fill him with confidence.

I'm glad you guys are having fun at least.

your wife is amazing to put up with this, you're a very lucky man giving the rest of us hope to get a great wife

Dude, paint it black and put on 10" rims

Wow, couldn't even get the Drive and Reverse wired up right from the factory, pathetic!

Talk about making the best of a bad situation. You have owned this, beast mode, and it's incredibly inspirational. I'm binge watching this series, now!

Hey man i just wanna say sorry for the obvious loss your family took but kudos for being a man and just hanging your head high! Your awesome bro, hope 2021 is great for ya!

please make that car go fast as hell like you did with the motorcycle

Some of these electric chinese cars are so bad they're good, but at their reasonably cheap price points. 31k is an absolute ripoff

Honestly you are really humble to even be able to accept this. I'm glad your wife is very cool about it, at least you know she's the one. I wish you the best of luck with the situation man. Damn.

Lol i have two rules in my life : 1. Never buy anything from Chinese company online 2. Listen to the rule number 1 always.

Three men die in Chinese electric “car” when rear ended by child on a tricycle.

Good stuff, my man. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Also known as "When Scammer Han sends you a $31k golf cart, make videos."

Smiles @ making the best outta a bad situation. Props man. I admire u.

I wouldn't have paid $32K for that. I would have gotten a refund and make them take the car back at their expense. You should have gotten a freight forwarder from the beginning. On big ticket items they can help arrange a third-party inspection before it is loaded on the boat. Also, you could have had them show you the VIN of the item you are getting and then show it through the shipping process with video updates. The last big ticket item I imported was an industrial laser cutter and they sent me video to prove it was working properly and they showed video of it going into the crate and loaded on the truck. There are many things you should have done. If you contact a freight forwarder who is experienced in shipping cars then they would have been a big help.

Never turn on your radio when filming because of copyright claims!

This video made my night... from the backwards Lexus logo to the fact that it goes faster in reverse. This car is something that you'd expect to see on one of the old Top Gear challenge episodes with Clarkson, Hammond & May.

this is the most perplexing purchase i think i've seen you make on this channel, but i loved every minute of it.

This Super Car has made your chanel! I love it!

OMG I laughed so hard when you guys climbed into that strawberry shortcake car. I’m sorry you got that car instead of the correct one but this whole story is so unbelievable. You can’t make this stuff up with a whole room of the best sitcom writers. 😂

Just like a french tank during ww2 Goes quicker in reverse 😂

aww man i dont think i have laughed so much in my life.cheers for this :) and a new subscriber!

Subscribed simply out of respect for the awesome attitude shown in a bad situation. Enjoying the content is a bonus.. Stay happy and keep enjoying life!

Dammit, I'm dying here! 6mph. in forward and 50 in reverse!! :-D Ya think maybe they reversed the leads on the drive motor?? ;-)

LMAO this is the saddest and funniest thing

The steering wheel says it all for me! 😆 For them to even send you a Pink top car was a deliberate joke.

Great video, the most laughs I’ve had in a while

Stumbled across this on Facebook & it’s going to be my favorite build on RU-vid right now, way to turn a negative into a positive! Best of luck can’t wait to see what you do to this thing

Bet it's just a golfcart with the body option selected

Dude, I’m glad u at least having fun sharing this, I’d probably being on the next flight to China to give that guy what he deserves.

Summing up this video in one word...hilarious !!

I'm actually amazed how positive you stayed through this man 🤟🏼 I found you through this series but definitely sticking around!

Imagine getting pulled over for speeding going backwards on that car😂

You spent/lost 32k but in actuality the moments your experiencing are priceless and for years to come.

I'm happy to see you making the best of an awful situation.

This car deserves a full-power Kelly controller and lithium batteries

This could be really good for content! Can’t wait to see what you guys do to it!

That was Hilarious when you shifted into reverse!!

I love it ,seeing u guy's having fun hilarious

I didnt even watch the video yet and im still going straight to the comment section to read the comment LOL

You've got an 8 car garage! Best line ever! 🤣🤣🤣 It looks like a Smartfor2 Put an LS in it.

The electric toy cars for toddlers are a good example because it's like a teen version of that car, it moves at the same intensity as one.

Blessings to you Brother!!

The carbon-fibre reverse electric Lexus clown-car. There's so much to unpack here.

A guy on another channel, I can't remember which, intentionally bought the same model. He turned it into an ultra-light duty off-road cart. It looked pretty good for what it is. Why can I now see you doing something like that , but for speed.

I can't wait for the Drifting videos with this car.

There's a two wire connector on most Chinese 3 phase controllers, that when momentarily shorted after powering up, reverses the direction of rotation, without changing the motor wiring configuration.

"I should payed extra for back seats ..." LOL

I live in China , this car cost only 30000 rmb , about 5000 USD , u got scammed big

10:17 Most amazing thing: it fit 5 adults in the car

THE BOYS AND THERE TOYS seriously this is the most expensive Chinese toy i ever see 🤣🤣🤣

They could have at least wired the air con switch to the windows! 🤣

Tune the mini car into a electric sports car

This car just got you subscriber I'm glad it showed up on my recommended

LMAO 🤣, dude ya got burnt. My hat is off to you for making lemonade outta lemons. 👍

This thing is quite hilarious!

I went from not knowing who you are to now really wanting to see more, in like what...a couple hours?

When he said „that’s full throttle“😂😂😂

We bought a $7000 skateboard mine runs 70mph it's super fast. It's made for a speed buff but, it's AWESOME... We are very happy with our buy... our wheels are 10 inch.

.....so does anyone have a actual link for this thing? I'd love one for around the farm lol

I have a real Smart car and this thing makes it look huge. At least mine can go hit 90mph lol.

That chassis looks exactly like the smart car powered by a combustion engine that sold here in the UK over 15 odd years ago. Although the wheels look much smaller then the smart car whose engine sat in the rear and had a top speed of about 50mph. Are you gonna install a decent Sound system in it. ? I wouldn't be surprise if mateee over in China put it together from a Diy kit based assembly in his backyard.

thank you for blasting my ears with music while driving and speaking at the same time

Yeah you got scammed and it really sucks and no i dont think thats even worth the 11k you ended up not recouping but it looks like you have plenty of content to come with it. And it seems like youve made the best of a bad situation and you guys seem like your still having fun so more power too you man thanks for the laughs

I think it is actually a pretty cool little car. Glad to see you smiling through this and glad to see you have such a great attitude. Put some better batteries or better motor in it and it would be a pretty cool little car to run around town in

Sorry it out of topic I like this video quality😂 what camera And lens 📷 do you use for shooting?

I found a wildfire 3 wheeler truck I bought from a friend and was so small I took out the seatback to give me some more room. I also was wearing flip flops one day and slipped when getting in and cut my foot open because of the bare exposed sharp metal around the pedals .

not gonna lie I actually want one of these now lol. I would not pay $40k for it but if I could source it as the actual thing i would consider it for sure! it would be great on a campus and local grocery runs.

“Worst case, I’ll make the money back on add revenue.”

Don’t watch and drive......me on side of road you made you flip 😂🤣🤣🤣

I think that guy on the electric wheelchair passed you as well hahaha 🤣

Love how she trolling you on the e-bike lmao that’s awesome. Sorry to hear how this story has played out for y’all. I would become Dexter from the Dexter TV series on them scammer for that kind of money and save the world from them. However they have COVID over there so maybe it will... good luck

In reverse its faster then driving forward so Its a French car

Nice, with the tiny wheels it almost looks like the car I drove in "Saints Row 3".

"You've got an 8-car garage" I'm here for this haha it's no supermarket but it's super interesting for some reason haha

An adult version of the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe. All it needs is a red and yellow paint job.

Damn dude good thing you have friends to make this whole ordeal bearable, I'd be raising hell!!!

Fun fact: you can charge it off your laptop USB

How far can you get on a full charge

The absolute most American thing in this whole video is the big guy lifting the car off of the rack, WITH FLIP FLOPS ON!!!!! YEESSSSSS!!!!!

Or engine swap

Could the isue be with the guy at 1:15, who plugged the random cable in because it fit? Maybe that turns around an order of some kind.

The E-Rickshaws in India have these motor and controller. The sound is similar too, and house lead acid batteries. They are also imported from China here. So I reckon, some E-Rickshaw manufacturer made this too.

Time for a big motor swap, see if you can make it an electric version of fasterproms smart car

“Gender reveal car” LOL

My heart truly goes out to.. your patient wife 😅😅. Seriously bro, I have two words for you "Vardy Scotland". Similarly, I had to customise & import a new Mercedes back late 1999. The local dealership kept building walls as to why I wanted 16 custom optional extras, instead of a bog standard E220 (no napa leather heated seats, no sunroof, no larger engine, no air-con,no sat-navy, no optional wheels etc etc..) Mercedes sitting in their compound ready to go. I was in the executive travel business and had got a new very prestigious contract. I wanted a car that would befit its duties. I lost a lot of time ( it was then November '99) trying to convince the local dealership what my vision was, so eventually they said they would have the car imported to Ireland March 2000 but maybe half the optional extras included.. 😮😯😟😥. At this moment I felt like you did Bro, when you saw what was delivered to you from China. In Ireland back then, the Customs vehicle registration office would reserve numbers 1-250 (please correct if memory serves me wrong) for a fee. If more than one person wanted the same number ( eg if you wanted to buy your patient wife 😂 a new car for the upcoming year for her 22nd 😉 birthday, you requested to the Customs office to reserve no. 22 so the number plate on her car would end in 22, example would be because it would be the millennium plates 00-G-22 = Year, County = Galway + number 22). I had requested to the Customs office to reserve number 1 which was very fitting as my new contract was for the Galway City Mayors Office. I then found out there was several other people requesting the same prestigious number. It then goes to a lottery 😟. With no certainty in mind as I had no control of the lottery, I took it into my own hands to source my customised Mercedes. It was about mid November 1999, like youself, I was still up @2am when I sent of a spate of emails to several dealerships in Ireland, UK & Scotland, explaining my vision, circumstances, and hopes for some heavenly intersesion assisting with at least half my requested customisations. I then went to bed. Next morning I had only one immediate reply, and they had 2 questions. Which black (10 choices) did I want ? and would a late delivery / collection to a shipping port on January 2nd be OK due to Christmas / New Year's holidays ? 😲😮🤓.. 🥳🥳🥳. Not only did I get all my requested options, but a 2/3 month earlier delivery than I expected. I honestly thought I couldn't feel any better, but shortly afterwards I received confirmation from the Customs office the I was successful in the lottery, and the no.1 would be reserved for my new Mercedes. Unlike yours it didn't come in a shipping box, but when I saw her being driven down the ships ramp for the 1st time, the black metallic paint glistening in the moon light. The car looked even better that I could have imagined. A few variables had come together in perfect timing. So, Never take no for an answer, often others can't comprehend your vision, + dealing with reputable "outside the box thinking" businesses can surpass your expectations. Picture of 00-G-1 on request can be forwarded. dannymaguire1@hotmail.com.. Thank you for your great videos.. Danny 👍👍👍😎🌈

I just bought a trike from a different Chinese company. I had similar issues but my salesman lin was much more responsive. I had to replace controller which the company sent me. While I was in the process I found 2 wires that looked like they belonged together. After connecting the wires it somehow reversed the polarity and forward became reverse. I wonder if you did the same on your super car. My trike goes 52 km/hr, about 30 mph, which is sufficient for driving in my town in thailand.

Yo, to be honest I want one of those just to put a motorcycle engine on it and being a really nice gokart, then With peltier plates or something create a nice AC cooling system xD

It probably has speed limiting in the "reverse" gear, so when it thinks it's going in reverse (even though it moves forwards) it won't go faster than a set speed.

Do you need to register the car before use at that low speed performance? Pls advice.

I actually want one 🥴🙈 I’m 19 and that’s the perfect little car for me and I just love the colors. So thank you for doing this review!

After seeing rich rebuilds make a electric quad, he NEEDS to do one of these haha

Next vid? “Mission impossible; upgrading until we hit an actual road speed limit.” 😂

When ever buying something overseas especially in China go there and actually be part or witness the shopping. and purchase process.

Have u tried switching the Negative and Positive wiring to the battery?🤔
