Electric tricycles: choose carefully, don't step on thunder!Electric tricycles are now one of the main means of transportation in rural and urban areas. Both sales and ownership have shown phenomenal growth, but when it comes to buying, there are two models that are not recommended to choose. To help you all buy an electric tricycle wisely, let's take a look at these two models and the reasons behind them.
The first type of electric tricycle that is not recommended is a miscellaneous model that has not been certified by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. These vehicles are not licensed, have no right of way, and are the most cheap in the market, and some are even lower than regular models with the same configuration. However, they often lead to follow-up repair issues, and you may need to deal with the repair shop frequently.
The second type of electric tricycle that is not recommended is the model with a significant premium rate. These models are usually well above normal in terms of configuration, and while you may be able to afford them, they actually lack value for money.
In order to better understand these two situations, we take Zongshen Xiangrui's electric tricycle priced at 5,000 yuan as an example to analyze its factory cost.
The main manufacturing costs of an electric tricycle include the frame, battery, and motor. For Zongshen Xiangrui's car, it is equipped with a 60V35Ah graphene battery, the market is about 900 yuan, the frame cost is about 400 yuan, the 1500W motor is about 600 yuan, and other accessories such as tires, headlights, controllers, etc. cost about 800 yuan.
After accounting, the ex-factory cost of a 5,000 yuan electric tricycle is about 2,700 yuan, and if the transportation cost is considered, it is about 3,000 yuan. Assuming that the manufacturer and the seller each get 50% of the profit, then with a ** sale of 5,000 yuan, the seller will get a profit of about 1,000 yuan.
Therefore, the factory cost of a 5,000 yuan electric tricycle is actually only about 3,000 yuan. If you spend seven or eight thousand dollars on this model, you will waste a lot of money. Similarly, if you spend 3,000 yuan on a miscellaneous electric tricycle, then its build quality will be greatly reduced.
Be careful with ultra-low-priced miscellaneous models and high-premium electric tricycles. Additionally, it's important to know how much value your electric tricycle retains after it reaches the end of its life.
The battery is one of the most valuable parts of an end-of-life electric tricycle. Taking Zongshen Xiangrui as an example, the ** value of the battery is about 350 yuan. In addition, parts such as the frame and motor also have a certain value, on the whole, a 5000 yuan electric tricycle, the value of about 800 to 900 yuan after scrapping, depending on the region and market conditions.
The final piece of advice is to choose carefully when buying an electric tricycle and not to be fooled by too low or too high**. Also, if you're planning to get a new car, consider trading in your old car for a new one, which can save some costs.
