TESTING A BAW PONY QUADRICYCLE - CHEAP ELECTRIC THRILLS?

EV Channels Review

The BAW Pony is presented as a quirky, affordable electric quadricycle aiming to compete with models like the Citroën Ami. The reviewer highlights its surprisingly practical interior, especially the van-like cargo space when the rear seats are omitted. Positives include its "jolly" and bright interior design with mint green accents, a functional minimalist dashboard featuring a sport mode, and decent storage options. The reviewer also notes the presence of an airbag and Bluetooth connectivity, features not always found in this segment. On the driving front, the rear-wheel-drive setup is praised, and while refinement isn't car-like, it's deemed better than some rivals like the Ami and Microlino, with smooth power delivery and a comfortable cruising speed of up to 50 mph. However, criticisms include a "triangle of doom" in the windscreen wiper coverage, some cheap-feeling switchgear, and a motor noise that can become intrusive at higher speeds. The claimed range varies between 105 and 135 miles depending on the battery pack, though real-world testing was not conducted. Overall, the BAW Pony is considered the nicest and most car-like quadricycle the reviewer has driven, suggesting a strong development trajectory for Chinese EVs.
