At first glance it looks like your average Smart Car, but look again

Nope. This Chinese electric vehicle's way cooler.



...and I don't think it's an "homage".

FWIW: Wheego is American owned (here's the Board of Directors.) and has even been awarded a US government General Services Administration (GSA) contract under Schedule 23V LSV (Low-Speed Vehicle).

Google is my buddy.

Although the China bashing is getting tiresome, I remembered reading somewhere about a Mercedes C300 ripoff from China called Geely C300. Here it is, with a collection of other ripped off models.
