One of the coolest things about the funky electric vehicles sprinkled around China’s largest online shopping platform is their small size.

They have an on-board battery matched with an inverter to provide silent, clean, and exhaust-free electricity anywhere you can carry them. With so many options available these days, the trickiest part can be just choosing the right size.
