Forum Support Mike J Posted July 27 Forum Support Posted July 27 4 minutes ago, Imaginos said: It looks like the 3 brands I need to look at are NWOW(thanks for the mentions), Rfme, and Kuroma (Kuromake). NWOW an Rfme have real websites while Kuroma I can only find on Facebook which makes me prefer the other two. Price of the NWOW golf, their highest model that I can find is 88k. The top end Rfme is around 150k. The 4 wheel Kuroma that I can find is around 70 but it looks too small for my needs so I'm going to focus on the other two. When/if you purchase one please let us know what the steepest grade it can climb. I would really like to have a small 4 wheel electric vehicle. Have looked at electric golf carts but the are way too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really like to have a small 4 wheel electric vehicle. Have looked at electric golf carts but the are way too expensive. Curious what the golf carts cost? It looks like the rfme motor is about twice as strong as the NWOW golf. The NWOW claims 8% incline so I would assume the rfme would be larger. Load woul influence this a lot. The NWOW had a lead acid battery that (from the Chinese site) looks a lot like a car battery with lids on each cell. The rfme has a gel battery, totally sealed. So it looks like there may be a big difference in the components that may explain the price difference between the two with the NWOW at 88k and the rfme around 140k. I'm going to try to get to Manila next week to get an up close look at both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoffH Posted July 27 Posted July 27 You could buy a decent second hand Bajaj tricycle for 100k.. and they'll outperform the electric types like night and day (70kph vs 20kph roughly). Even a new one is only 190k ish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My choice for myself would be much different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardon my ignorance, but aren’t they essentially the same thing? Electric golf carts vs 4 wheel eBikes - what’s the difference? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a country that advertises itself as laidback and carefree to tourists. Where the national slogans are "Wait lang" and "A moment Sir", heck they even have their own time zone "Pilipino Time". Everyone seems to be in an unnatural hurry. Motorcycles weaving in and out, counterflowing on narrow highways to beat a red light, passing on blind curves. Every week we read articles about head long crashes or tricycles smacking into a truck while "overtaking". What is the rush indeed? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
