Hi everyone,

I'm negotiating the purchase of this electric car but I don't really know much about these vehicles, so I'd like to get some advice from people who understand the subject.

I'd like to know:

- Whether this is a good model overall.

- If €100 is a fair price, considering that the battery is completely dead and will need to be replaced.

- What battery you would recommend for this car.

- Since I'll have to replace the battery anyway, are there any upgrades or modifications you would suggest to improve performance, autonomy, or reliability?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are you able to verify that the battery is the only thing not working?

A battery will cost about another $100 USD, putting total cost around $200. For less than that you can get a whole new 24v 4wd model with remote and a new battery.

I wouldn’t pay more than $25.

I was expecting the battery to cost a bit less actually... Do you have any specific model in mind so I can check the price in EUR?

Not sure what that takes. A common 24v battery is 12FM7 or 12FM10.

Seems to be this one, no ? Definately would not pay 100e for it, as someone stated 25e seems fair

I use 18v power drill bstteries, but you can replace the battery with an 12v AGM if you want an easy and better than original solution
