Yep, the main difference between a Citicar and a Commutacar is that the later holds the batteries in 2 boxes, one in each of the front and rear bumpers.

So, yes, they have crazy huge bumpers on them. This particular car takes advantage of that by having solar panels over the bumpers. We don't have those hooked up yet. Besides, it was dark by the time we got the car running!
