There is a cotton industry of youtubers importing Aliexpress EV things just for reviews. I enjoy those ebike school videos.

Good luck, the import fees are several times the cost of the actual car. Not sure if this was posted itt before but it's a good summary,

Also, you can't make it road legal in most states.

There are neighbourhoods/areas in FL* cities where golf carts are street legal. A mate of mine there has one as a runabout, uses it for visiting friends, taking his kid to the pool, etc.

*(Probably other places too, but I think it's particularly widespread there).

I don't know about those specific ones but you can generally register them for street use as electric quads or something like that in Europe if they don't exceed some maximum speed and weight or some other limits. This is how the Citroen Ami is a thing.

I thought those were because France has the weird specific rules about tiny cars for kids & the under-licensed to drive

In South Dakota you can register them but only if you promise not to drive them on interstate highways (since those are federal and the registration is only legal at the state level). It's supposed to be an exemption to allow farmers to register and use utility vehicles on state roads, but I regularly see people tooling around Sioux Falls on the ATV that is their daily driver.

E: so to answer your question, apparently you have to vote for hateful bigot Trump-lovers to get the cool teeny cars. Sorry man.

It's not just France, but yeah that helps too. I don't know the exact rules because I just have normal cars but IIRC for that class you just have to be over 14 or (or 16?) and don't need a normal car license. So you see mostly teenagers and sometimes some old people drive them around.

Fair enough, I probably just associate them with France because of "oh those wacky French, how we hate and mock them" stories in the media.

I don't see why you can't drive them legally in all states. US ebike companies sell e-trikes. This is just one more wheel. Maybe you have to pay attention to the battery size limit.

And you don't need a license to ride an e-trike.

Yeah three wheels and four wheels are two different classes of vehicles and have different laws associated with them. It can get stupid but thems the lines that got drawn

In the EU you can register those micro cars as mopeds and drive them when you're 15/16 (on a moped drivers license). They aren't allowed to go faster than 45 km/h.

Can anyone recommend any good controllers for a cell phone (android) from Ali? I'd like to play something like Dead Cells, so nothing too fancy, but I have no idea what to look for in phone control pads. Preferably something that could also hold the phone.

It aint Ali, and it only works if your phone is one of these

* Razer Phone 1 & 2*
* Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+/S9/S9+/S10/S10+/Note 8/Note 9/Note 10/Note 10+ - and newer Galaxies. I have an S21 Ultra and it works fine
* Google Pixel 2/2 XL/3/3XL/4/4XL,
* Other Android devices with center-mounted USB-C port and within the supported dimensions of 145.3 – 163.7 mm (Height) x 68.2–78.1 mm (Width) x 7.0 – 8.8 mm (Depth)

but the Razer Kishi is what I used for a couple of years before I got the Steam Deck. Especially works great with emulation, but I've played Dead Cells with it on the phone as well. Used it to beat Crypt of the Necrodancer. While it is available on Ali, it's usually always on sale on Amazon. $45 right now.

I own a kishi and a backbone one for use with remote play on my S9 and the backbone is a much better controller.
