Electric Mini-tank in Limited Production - ZIESEL


Ziesel mini-tank

When we first encountered the Ziesel back in November, this go-anywhere, do-anything offspring of a drunken three-way between an electric power chair, an ATV, and an M1 Abrams tank was just a concept. It’s been a few months, though, and you can now (like, right now) head on over to DerZiesel and buy one of the completed Ziesels, or order one built to your own spec.
Speaking of specs, DerZiesel’s web page has a full run-down of the final production specs. Most notable among those, I thought, was the 20+ MPH top speed- that’s sure to be thrilling in a machine that’s as wide-open as the Ziesel. Take a look at the full rundown of tech-y gear head stuff…

… then take a look at the photo gallery, below, and let us know if you think the off-road electric DerZiesel tank is worth the asking price of nearly 30,000 USD. I’ll award points to commentors who figure out how much an off-road capable, medical grade electric scooter runs. Enjoy!
