Unboxing & Testing my ELECTRIC mini-excavator from China!

Dad is so right , the dirt looks just like Sand

27mins into this video, and i'm wondering why i am watching (unboxing/manual) an e-excavator, with a garden of 5m 🙂

Great machine. Be sure to check the swivel motor bolts after a few uses, they tend to loosen up and cause damage.

I am in the process of purchasing an electric mini excavator and have corresponded with this same firm, Everun. Here are the specs and price I was quoted for the ERE12 described in this video: $7500, 1100kg, dimensions 950mm wide, 3127mm long, 2195mm height, engine 4kw, 48Vx300Ah=14.4kwh lithium battery, manufactured in Qingdao, China. It comes with a whole range of accessory attachments such a different size buckets, grapple, rake, ripper, even augur with 3 bit sizes. Keep in mind packing and shipping will run you typically less than $1000 to the west coast, not sure what shipping would be to the east coast. Also, you need to consider 25% customs duty for power equipment, paid at the port of entry. You will also typically need a customs broker who can arrange pick up at the port, or shipping onward to your final destination. BTW, most of the electric mini excavators I researched were slightly cheaper than this one. This was the only one I came across that used 48V battery. Typically they use 12V lithium batteries and the usual configuration is 6 in series for 72V. This makes the batteries completely user serviceable. The model I am getting is made by Shandong Youda and is 72Vx160Ah=11.5kwh battery. I ordered a machine whose tracks can narrow to 800mm wide, enough to pass through a 36" standard US entry door as I plan on using it in a basement excavation project. After entering, the tracks can expand to 1000mm wide for greater stability. Of course, for use in a basement, a gas or diesel powered engine would not be feasible due to fumes, so an electric mine excavator was essential. In addition to the excavator I plan on getting an electric track front loader and a mini dumper that has a 400liter capacity to haul the excavated dirt out of the basement. Thanks for sharing your experience. Nice to see this model in operation in America!

the "no smoke in your face" part alone is, in my humble opinion, the part that makes it worth the money.

As someone who rents out diesel mini-excavators, this mini-ex would be great for those who are just getting started and won't require them to have and maintain their own diesel tank. I bet your videos are the best advertising for the manufacturers.

It’s cool seeing the truck return

Nice new electric machine! And, I like seeing that mini-truck still being put to great use.

This is awesome! I really recommend making the batteries easily removable for charging. These things often work far from power sources, so being able to haul the batteries back for charging on something that moves a lot faster is critical. Can’t wait to see the version you import for sale!

I love how you show all of the different uses of the product and how easy it is to set up and go.

So, it's not actually a dozer blade. That is meant to be rolled up onto as an anchor for ripping heavily packed or hard soils. Also good as an improvised anchor if you need something to pull against for recovery operations. I imagine you could mount a winch to the rear and spin it around for pulling.

Great job on the video Micah! Thanks for making it. Your videos are so peaceful.

First time watching your channel. Your dad strikes me as a retired psychiatrist from Long Island enjoying life in rural South Florida.

This seems to be a very versatile, multiuse machine. I have operated diesel, powered mini excavators before and you are very correct in that. The diesel fumes are always a problem. Thank you for making the effort to bring these to America and setting them up for use here. I will be checking back on your website to see when this machine is available. Thank you!😁

Great video as always, brother! I love that you always have your dad involved too.

Long time watcher of your vids here! Just purchased a 10 acre homestead in OK and looking at equipment. Nesher is top of my list now! Love your channel as a resource and not only an entertainment platform.

Awesome little unit. Next project is to interface a Nintendo "Power Glove" like gyro-based controller via an Arduino to control this excavator's claw! :yougotthis:

Brilliant, you made a garage for the excavator with the packaging. Although I would have suggested using some corrugated steel panels for a roof and walls👍

Thank you for your content I enjoy "Watching" it at the same time as checking emails. I have learn a lot from your explanation of the products you have shown in the past years.

That is so a amazing cool little electric excavator, the built quality looks very very very impressive, super cool to see the combo of small electric excavator with electric tiny truck 🎉❤ love your videos!
