The battery isn’t exactly large, coming in at just 12V and 20Ah for a measly 240 Wh of capacity. I’m not saying this is the best battle tank out there, but based on the rate that Russian tanks are losing their hats these days, it’s probably not the worst, either. There’s a 1,000W powerhouse hidden in there somewhere, which means that this little tank is likely quite torquey, even if it won’t win any races against the local park walking club. Surprisingly, the slower-than-walking top speed doesn’t mean a super-weak motor. Perhaps sticking to the fields is the better part of valor here. With my own electric army tank, I can have ultimate all-terrain freedom without sacrificing my commitment to environmentally responsible driving!Īs a vet myself, there’s something nostalgic about hopping in an olive drab doomsday machine and leaving the roads behind.Īnd while I’d love to drive this adorable little electric army tank down to my local coffee shop, the top speed of 4 km/h (2.5 mph) might make that a bit impractical. I hate having to deal with concerns like carrying an air pressure gauge to check my tires, or wondering if I’ll be able to maintain traction while climbing up and over the car that double parked me.
I don’t know about you, but I’m absolutely ready to trade tires for tank treads it just seems like it’d be a lot more practical. This week’s entry in our Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week series is a first for us in nearly two years – an electric land vehicle that doesn’t have wheels. “Speak softly and carry a big stick” may have been Teddy R’s shtick, but how about, “Drive quietly and carry a main cannon”? With today’s big trucks and SUVs turning into an arms race of their own, that’s how I plan to commute now that I’ve found that you can buy your own electric army tank on Alibaba.
