When we thought the electric jet ski market couldn’t get it weirder, enter China and Alibaba. A $2,000 inflatable jet ski was found in the Alibaba listings and made its way into their “Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week” column. The ski looks more like an inflatable raft with a steering wheel. It doesn’t come with a motor or a battery so we aren’t sure how the steering system will work. It’s dirt cheap, so it might be worth it to add a little motor and battery or take it to a local shop and have a mechanic put it together for you.
Another nice thing about the inflatable ski is that it’s light and easy to transport. It can be deflated and stowed in the back of an SUV or leave it inflated and toss it in a pickup. There’s more than once catch to this great find at $2,025. You’re dealing with Alibaba and that means thousands of dollars in shipping costs, customs import charges, taxes, broker fees, and other fees. We do not recommend buying this thing due all the complications and stress that ensue when shopping on Alibaba. Sometimes, orders do ship up months later and arrive with another set of problems. Wild times!
