Pros:
- Easy to assemble even without instructions
- Surprisingly good build quality
- Looks great
- Good price even after high customs import duty
- Fun to drive
- Electric hydraulic tipping truck bed
- Momo logo on steering wheel
- 100% non-polluting green and clean energy as I am off-grid and charging with my solar panels.
- Had been assembled at factory before disassembly and shipping.
- Extra screws in bag

Cons:
- Sold as 4x4, only 2x4
- High US import duty after the additional Trump China tax of 25% on top of regular duty
- Long delivery time with Shipping Delays, 113 days from order to delivery, factory produces car within 30 days
- low torque uphill, on 9% incline with no load but driver, speed of 1-2 mph (I am flooring the accelerator in the video going uphill)
- surprisingly wide turning radius due to long wheelbase for an UTV - measured 39.5 feet curb-to-curb
- no lithium battery option from vendor
- No assembly instructions
- Need to lift roof to fit 6'4" (194cm) Viking :-)
- Incorrect Cargo size on website (actual size was closer to 9' x 60" x 40")
- Incorrect max incline on web-site (max closer to 10%)
- Import paperwork was a nightmare, warehouse refused delivery due to document formatting (NYC vs West Coast style)

Fixable issues:
- mismatched paint between Cab and bed
- ineffective hand brake
- low roof
- Paint not cured in oven, very soft and arrived with impressions from wrapping

I paid:
Car with Options as delivered on the loading dock in China: $5080
Shipping to Oakland CA: $700
Import duty and custom: more than $2500
Payment for US import paperwork, to a spider web of red tape, another $500
Rent a trailer, gas for pickup: $300
Total around $9000

I made this video for fun and have received no compensation.
