might get very workable as farm/ranch truck rather than using a 4 wheeler…which cost many times lore
Kaiyun Motors is poised to start mass exports to the U.S
The Pickman, with a top speed of 45 kilometers (28 miles) per hour, is suitable for farm owners, factory employees moving loads at their work sites, and commuters, driving range of 120 kilometers (75 miles)
With a capacity to carry 500 kilos (1,100 pounds) of goods,

Very interesting… but how far (or how long) do you think it can go on a single charge with a full load? Would certainly be cheaper than a Mule (the motorized vehicle, not the 1/2 horse equine). But I’d be curious about it working on hills/slope, hauling and how long that battery lasts under real life work conditions. Wonder how long until we see a dealership/importer in the states?
A range of 75 miles per charge, that is merely about a couple hours?
I don’t think that would be enough for those that are on the go more.
Like taxy cars, commuters, delivery people, checking irrigation lines or cattle, etc.
Most farming use 4 wheelers or gator/mule type vehicles for off the roads, but get there on pickups and there would not be any way to charge them where you are going as often as they would need.
I am sure at that price they will find enough that only go short distances that could use those.
It’s like a gator only bigger. IDK, the dump option for the bed is important on a farm.
This looks super cool! I have a 10 year old diesel gator that refuses to start at temps below freezing (even on a battery tender). For horse farm owners on 100 acres or less without a lot of off road duties , I could see this being very very handy. Club car meets gator! Wonder if it comes with a 4x4 option? (Black clay here
at top speed it would be about three hours, three hours of bagging around might be all one could handle at a time
But Bluey you are thinking of the ranches that are measured in sections/square miles… most horse farms are pretty small and concentrated where golf carts are often used
A local car dealer had something like this on the lot a couple of years back. It was Japanese and had come from one of the Federal Oak Ridge facilities that had declared it surplus. It was pretty nice, diamond plate chrome finish, fixed bed, and the salesman said it would run for 4-5 hours on a charge. They wanted $2500 for it. But it was RWD and while it would have been fine on pavement or in flat, grassy terrain it would not have done so well on my hilly terrain or in mud. I passed it.

do not know but it does offer an option for Texans…a gun rack is optional
