That Blue Meanie is so plain- no huge tires, wheelie bars, hood scoops, and so on! I took the City-el a very short way down highway 1 yesterday (about 45 mph) but it barely made it home (2 miles), and didn't charge right up in 2 hours like it normally does. To get 48 volts to push a whole car is impressive.
A newer City-el in England put lithium batteries in last summer, I think, but each battery was very wrapped and insulated and no power or distance increase was mentioned. That City-el was sold a few months ago.
