Bintelli Nexus 4 Forward Lifted

The lifted version of Bintelli's 2027 Nexus 4 Forward: the same "LSV with VIN" 25 mph rating, 72V powertrain and 5 kW motor, on a longer 82-inch wheelbase with side steps; $17,995 at Bintelli's own store. The catch: range is published only as "up to 30-40 miles" with no battery amp-hours, and the listed width includes the side steps, so we don't show it. Street-legal: yes (LSV certified). MSRP range: $17,995.

Our figures, from verified specs + MSRP — lower cost-per-seat and cost-per-mile is better; higher power-to-weight means more pep and hill-climb. Range uses the normalized estimate. Cost per kWh is what the price actually buys you in battery — the single figure that separates a cheap cart from an under-batteried one, and almost nobody publishes it. Pack energy is the maker's published kWh where they give one, otherwise volts × amp-hours.
