Mega e-City

In common with the other electric quadricuycles in this guide, the Mega e-City costs less than 2p per mile to run and if used by a town-based driver, can potentially save thousands of pounds in road tax, parking, congestion and runing costs each year.

The Mega e-City is better equipped as standard than some of its rivals: sound proofing; electric windows with pulse-modulated descent; CD/Radio; tinted windows; 'Luxe' carpet; interior lighting timer and a rear window demister all come as standard.

Verdict: Distinctive looking electric vehicle available as a 2 or 4-seater.
