When it comes to electric scooters, everyone does not have to cling to models such as Hongguang MINIEV and Chery QQ Ice Cream. This is not to say that Hongguang MINIEV and Chery QQ ice cream are not OK, on the contrary, they are indeed suitable for transportation. But we also have to know that there are always some consumers who need a better travel experience or a scooter with more space, in this case, we can look at Chery Ant, Zero Run T03, Baojun KiWi EV, these 60,000-100,000 price point models, they are actually the first choice for many people when buying scooters.
Chery Ants
Zero run T03
So, what are the similarities and differences between Chery Ant, Zero Run T03, and Baojun KiWi EV, and if we want to choose one of these three models, how to choose?
From the price range, the price range of Chery Ant is 66,900-84,900, the price range of zero-run T03 is 68,900-84,900, and the price range of Baojun KiWi EV is 69,800-89,800. The three of them are indeed at a similar level, with KiWi EVs being a bit more expensive. It should be noted that Small Ant and KiWi EV are both built by traditional fuel vehicle companies, and zero-run T03 comes from the new forces of car manufacturing, and in the convenience of follow-up maintenance, the three cars will have a slight difference. Fortunately, electric vehicles generally do not need maintenance, and they need to replace wearing parts, and the gap between the three vehicles is not particularly large.
Baojun KiWi EV
In terms of endurance, Chery Ant has two kinds of endurance of 301 km and 408 km, zero-run T03 has two kinds of endurance of 301 km and 403 km, while Baojun KiWi EV has only 305 km of one choice. At first glance, it may seem that the KiWi EV is at a disadvantage because its range options are not abundant. But in fact, in our daily life, the endurance gap of more than 300 kilometers and more than 400 kilometers is not particularly large. Most people commute to work between 20 km and 30 km, and the endurance of more than 300 km already meets the travel needs of about a week.
In terms of size, the chery ant has a length of 3200mm and a wheelbase of 2150mm, using a three-door four-seat structure; the length of the zero-run T03 is 3620mm, the wheelbase is 2400mm, and the body structure is five doors and four seats; the length of the Baojun KiWi EV is 2894mm, the wheelbase is 2020mm, and the seat layout is the same as that of the little ants. That is to say, from the perspective of riding experience, the performance of the zero-run T03 is the best of the three cars, and the rear activity space will be larger. The little ant space is somewhere between the Zero Run T03 and the KiWi EV, but like the KiWi EV, it has to face the fact that it is not so convenient to get in and out of the second row.
In terms of chassis suspension and drive form, the zero-run T03 is the only model among the three vehicles to use the front-mounted all-wheel drive structure and non-four-wheel independent suspension, and its suspension composition is the front McPherson + rear torque beam type. Chery Ant and Baojun KiWi EV use rear rear drive, but the small ant adopts the front McPherson type + rear McPherson style four-wheel solo suspension, while the Suspension used by the KiWi EV is the front McPherson type + rear double cross arm type. In actual driving, the control of the small ant and KiWi EV will naturally be better than the zero-run T03, after all, the rear drive can indeed improve the handling. Compared with the KiWi EV, the kiWi EV will have a slightly better handling experience, because the size of this car is relatively small and the flexibility is relatively higher.
In fact, originally in the price of 60,000-100,000, we can buy more electric vehicles, such as Euler black cat, white cat, two better selling models, in fact, also belong to this price. However, at present, Euler officially does not accept new orders for black cats and white cats, and has stopped selling, so there is no way to buy new cars. Fortunately, the temporary farewell of black cats and white cats to us did not affect our choice of an electric scooter within 100,000, and we can still buy models such as Chery Ant, Zero Run T03, and Baojun KiWi EV. Among these three models, the small ant is more moderate, the zero-run T03 has a large space, the KiWi EV is well controlled, and the focus is different, and everyone has to choose according to the needs.
