I think I saw one of these online at some point but they look interesting and this pic was taken here in TN.

Chinese for sure as I do not think that is a Malhindra (Indian company)

Any ideas?

After zooming in I saw the Oreion nameplate (which I have never heard of)

Is appears to be a https://www.oreionmotors.com/reeper-apex

Sucks it only comes in a manual transmission.

it has a Cherry brand 1100 cc engine, I had one of those in a buggy before, like 60 HP and I would think the buggy I had weighed a bit less than that thing.
 
Correct answer " what is the next vechicle crispins posts on irate to help sell, becuase its to fucking ugly and slow no one wants to rent it"

Seriously just rent go-carts like Mario Cart style 10 at a time and watch the money roll in.

This would be awesome. I wonder how you could do this legally?
 
It's an Orion reeper.
there used to be a local dealer but he dropped them due to warranty issues.

Ya, were do you get engine, transmission or suspension parts when that stuff shits the bed, like you know its going to? In that description I posted it says they are "manufactured" in Gilbert Arizona. Maybe assembled with all Chinese parts from a crate but no fucking way that thing is USA made.

Also, company address is listed in New Mexico and it says "manufactured" in Arizona. Huh?

Yep. I looked at one once before but the dealer warned me that he was dropping them as he was having a hard time getting parts and them not honoring their warranty.
 
I was into Chinese Buggies about 15 years ago and even crossed referenced many parts over to Suzuki part #'s

However the price they want for that isn't worth it.

Now if I could buy a bunch of them from a closing dealer or something for like 1/2 off I would.

They would rent pretty decent, everyone just wants to drive in something different, that they haven't tried before.

4 seater and automatic is a money maker.

That is why their pricing really makes no sense.

They want $17K base plus tax, delivery, options.

To pay that much and have part issues, that is not worth it at all.

If they were under $10k, it would be worth it and just have a spare one or two for parts.

I would not pay close to $20k for one, that is stupid
