Another chinese rubbish...

I'm not sure of the true name and company, as always with these. I have it as a "Winway Electric car", a 3 seater that seems to be produced by Wuhan Winway Enterprise.

Yes, it is rubbish, but rather more interestingly styled than the norm.

I have seen this car described as the Wuhan Winway, but I think it's actually built by a different factory. Any idea who?

It seems Wuhan Winway does not like to assign a specific name to their vehicles.

I find it referred to as:
Winway New Design Four-wheel Motorcycle
and
Winway City Smart Electric Car

But those seem to be generic names, assigned to several different vehicles.

I'm pretty sure this is made by a different brand to Wuhan Winway. Looking for that brand name...

I believe "Angel" is actually the brand name of the electric motor.

I found this picture from 2009.

I couldn't find any English reference, so here goes the name of the company in Chinese: 无锡雅西电动车有限公司

Yaxi Princess is correct! The three-wheeled version is called the Prince

What is the most complete catalogue / reference which includes recent Chinese marques and also more obscure ones.

Erik van Ingen Schenau does one, but the obscure ones are missing. Problem is, most of the obscure ones are not considered "cars" in China, these fall into another category. So there's no catalog for them

Good info on Chinese marques is the biggest missing car resource on the web...
