That is really Cool. How fast does it go? Can you ride it in the street?
I want one of these. Looks like yours but a tad bigger.

That one on you tube has a motor which you can hear all the time. They are are used here as taxis.
Mine is electric and without the horn you would not hear me coming! It has all you need for riding it on the road. Lights back and front, including headlight that goes on full beam or dipped. Direction indicators and the obligatory Chinese loud horn.
It has three speeds with the maximum being 28 kpm. It passes the tests for use in the Europe. as they have restrictions on speed for riding on the footpaths (sidewalk) but the low speed covers that. But of course here in China there are no such restrictions and top speed is ok along the foot paths.
I have ridden along the road AND also gone against the flow of traffic. Plus a walking stick and/or umbrella can be carried in a special place on the side of it.
The sight of
a big fat foreigner riding one on the Chinese streets is attracting a lot of attention and one advantage I have is that people notice me which makes me safer.
Also I am attracting the attention from older Chinese people and it looks like I am a good mobile advertisement for the machine.
Maybe we should take up the manufacturers offer of opening a dealership in Zhongshan!
