The City Blitz accelerates with a great deal of verve until tapering off once it passes 50 km/h. 🚘 ElectricCars ElectricVehicles Find out more here 👇

, and aimed at intercity travels as per their classification as quadracycles rather than proper cars, all four City Blitz models are powered by a single 10-kWh battery located underneath the seats that produce 7.5 kW.Able to reach a top speed of 80 km/h and travel 160 km on a single charge, 150 km in the case of the bakkie and van, the City Blitz is only chargeable from a traditional household socket and according to EV.Africa, will require a waiting time of between four to six hours.

Unsurprisingly small as per the quadracycle regulations in China and Europe, the City Blitz two and four seater measure 2 242 mm long, 1 290 mm wide and 1 570 mm with a wheelbase of 1 500 mm.Dimensions for the panel van and bakkie are slightly larger at 3 150 mm, 1 297 mm and 1 685 mm respectively, with the wheelbase stretching 2 300 mm.

Given its market clientele and unsuitability for highway driving, the City Blitz lacks any form of safety system such as airbags or ABS, though it does receive four corner hydraulic disc brakes as standard, plus inertia real seatbelts. Unlike legislation in some European markets pertaining to quadracycles, piloting the City Blitz in South Africa still requires a valid driver’s licence regardless of age.And piloting the tiny tyke, regardless of bodystyle, is something of a surreal experience for drivers more use to a traditional car, bakkie or van.
