Does 20mph and pulls trailers. Hauls half a yard of compost and kicks ass at garden projects. Charges itself. Welds fencing and other things far from power. It makes every power tool battery powered.
Have a 2000W AIMS inverter I can give with it with a 20A built in charger. Can work as a back up power supply for your house and recharge off the sun. A real kick to PG&E and the best kind of ev is the kind that charges itself for free.
Body is not pretty. Farm grade. Does the job.
Best tool I've ever built. I've built this tool for a workspace I rent and I rarely use the thing since moving.
