@MrKontrollanten Yes, this one is from 1991. The vehicle was in production in Denmark from late 80'ies to mid 90'ies; then the production moved to Germany, where it's still made in small numbers.
fantastic! ..... my only worry is the safety cell around you... and with a child on board, even more so . But you;re on the right track here! lovely lookin lil thing!
@TheMCMXXL The reason for the high price is the low number of units produced. Unfortunately, with that price, they will never produce a high number of units...
Although it does not look like it, it is actually quite safe. The driver is protected by a very stiff frame and a roll-bar. In the 20 years that this vehicle has existed, there has been no fatal accidents.
Just a few weeks ago a CityEl driver collided with another vehicle while doing 60km/h. The vehicle was totaled, but the driver got away with a few bruises.
Ich hab' auch mal so einen gehabt vor fast 10 Jahren. Hat mir viel Spaß gemacht - allerdings auch einigen Ärger, denn so richtig ausgereift wie ein Großserienfahrzeug war das City-el auch nach so vielen Jahren immer noch nicht. Keine Ahnung, ob sich das jetzt geändert hat.
The child-seat for the mini-el is extra, but cheap.
You are right, the wheel configuration does not allow for high-speed turns, but so far it has not been a problem for me. The batteries are placed very low in the vehicle, so the center of mass is low.
is this from 1991?

Could anyone explan please, why such a thing cost new about nearly 9000 Euros without Battery? This thing is for me a bigger Sinclair C5.

You are right, there a no noise dampening materials used, so at higher speeds there is a lot of road/wind/mechanical noise.
That said, it sounds a lot louder on the video than in real life.

Thats pretty nifty, though it is only a one seater car.
Does the child seat come as standard?
I prefer a two-one wheel configuration like the T-Rex EV.
