I BOUGHT 3 OF THE MOST FUN EV PROTOTYPES THAT WE MAY NEVER SEE AGAIN

EV Channels Review

The reviewer explores three unusual EV prototypes from Aramoto, a company based in Eugene, Oregon, focusing on their three-wheeled electric vehicles. While acknowledging the unconventional and arguably unattractive design, the reviewer praises the Aramoto's performance, citing a 90 mph top speed, 80 horsepower, and over 100 miles of range, all available for under $10,000 for a used prototype. The vehicle's compact size, surprising storage, and unique features like heated seats and grips are highlighted. Despite significant drawbacks such as a non-functional website, difficulty in contacting the company, and initial issues with clogged drains leading to controller water damage, the reviewer found the hardware impressive. The reviewer successfully repaired a prototype, noting the use of parts from other ATVs/UTVs and the robust construction, even comparing it favorably to McLaren's build quality. Real-world testing included impressive burnouts, a 52-mile trip with 40% charge remaining, and attempts to tip the vehicle, which resulted in a power cut. The reviewer concludes that the Aramoto is a fun, capable, and highly recommended vehicle for those willing to take a gamble on a unique EV, even preferring it over luxury EVs for daily use under favorable conditions.
