THE BIG EV 6X6 IS AWFUL, BUT AWESOME

EV Channels Review

The Wheelsboy team explores a truly unique creation: a six-by-six MINI EV monster truck built by YiChe Garage. This custom build started as a response to Shanghai's electric vehicle policy, evolving into a wild fusion of a MINI EV body with a GWM Cannon pickup truck's chassis, engine, and drivetrain. The reviewer highlights the impressive attention to detail, including functional lights, a working air conditioning system, and even a simulated winch and supercharger intake. However, the vehicle's practicality is severely compromised. The custom-built "Gold Wing" doors are complex, visibility from the driver's seat is heavily obstructed by the relocated instrument cluster and fake supercharger, and the body flexes significantly. While the reviewer acknowledges it's not a true 6x6 (lacking a proper transfer case), the visual effect is convincing. Despite its numerous flaws, including rust and a precarious driving experience with significant body roll and a non-automatic transmission, the reviewer concludes it's an "awful but awesome" creation, praising its unique character and surprisingly brisk acceleration from its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.
