Not suggesting you import one yourself if you wish to, but check out some of the YouTube videos and reviews. Personally, I wouldn't buy one for use around here.

You can't import them "here." You'd have pick them up at a port, pay duties, transportation, go through inspections and on and on. When I got my 1st Atomic I looked at doing just that under the Chinese brand name for my 2nd one (wasn't ChangLi) off Alibaba. It was about $8G'vs. $15G's and I needed to buy 4 and it would have cost over $4G's more EACH to get it here after everything was said and done. There is a lot more than just ordering one since it is a vehicle and has to go through customs and inspections and documents out your back end. Read the "fine print" on Alibaba for what is NOT included in the price.
Biggest boondogle is, no one will fix any problems if you had any.
