The mechanical keyhole of the Zotye e200 is located on the handle of the driver's side door. The Zotye e200 is a micro 3-door, 2-seat pure electric hatchback with the following dimensions: length 2735mm, width 1600mm, height 1630mm, and a wheelbase of 1810mm. The Zotye e200 is equipped with an 82-horsepower electric motor and a single-speed transmission for electric vehicles. The total power of the motor is 60 kilowatts, and the total torque is 160 Newton-meters. It features a rear-wheel-drive system, with a MacPherson independent suspension at the front and a double-wishbone independent suspension at the rear. The tire specifications for both front and rear are 195/50R15.
In my experience, the mechanical keyhole of the Zotye E200 is designed to be very discreet to maintain the electric vehicle's sleek appearance. It's located above the driver's side door handle, covered by a small plastic cap. You'll need to gently pry it open using the mechanical key itself or a small tool to insert the key and unlock the door. I once encountered a dead battery during a trip, but knowing the location of this keyhole saved me from being stranded outside the car for a long time. The designers were thoughtful to include this backup solution in case the keyless system fails. Remember to regularly check if the cap is loose to prevent rainwater from seeping in and causing rust. A simple spray of lubricant during maintenance once a year is sufficient. I recommend that owners familiarize themselves with its location in advance to avoid frantic searches during emergencies—learning from my past lesson is always beneficial.
