Wonder if you can use the golf cart trails. Golf carts are a disease around here. They seem to think they are special.

What are chances of getting one of these before a Mav?

Expect that to nearly double once you pay for shipping (transoceanic), duties, and shipping again (freight).

obviously not legal to drive on US roads and most likely not even legal to import

You may be able to. There are similar products that have been imported:

I think the big question is "why would anyone want to"... Even that guy in the video (who has follow-ups on it) can't quite explain it to me. Want a golf cart? Get a golf cart. Want a truck? Get a truck. Want a golf cart-truck? Get a UTV or John Deere.

Get a golf cart. Want a truck? Get a truck. Want a golf cart-truck? Get a UTV or John Deere.

Have you seen the price of golf carts these days, though? Much less a UTV/SxS.

Also John Deeres suck if you need to use them anywhere that has salt in the winter (or carry mild corrosives in the bed) as they absolutely become rust buckets in 10 years while an aluminum chassis Club Car will still be nearly good as new 30 years later.

Fair points. I'd just say that it all depend on what you want to use it for. And ultimately, I just don't understand why anyone would pay for a chinese import that may be of dubious legality (meaning once you get it, you might not be able to use it as you thought you would) when you can take your pick of what's on the new/used market already-and there are a ton of options and configurations for a light utility truck-thing.

How do we know the corona virus wasn't made in China?

Because we've had it for almost 3 years now and it's still working.
