Anyone have the new RXV Elite?

I'm thinking of purchasing the Elite (Lithium Batteries) and I was wondering if anyone has tried one yet. Mainly I'm wondering about the range they get. My dealer has the 120 amp version and is going to let me drive it on Sunday. I hope to drive it about 40 miles. It still will have the 8 inch wheels on it so hopefully it will go about 19 mph.

Well I gave it a run yesterday. I am kind of impressed. I drove a 120 amp model about 35 miles. It had 8 inch wheels, so I figured if it had 10 inch wheels, the motor would have worked the same but I would have gone about 40 miles.

The power meter on the dash still showed over half of the charge available. It decreased at a steady rate unlike my old electric RXV meter which stayed at full then dropped real fast for about 5 miles till I was almost dead on the road.

After driving it, I put it on the charger for exactly one hour and the meter showed that I then had over 3/4 full charge.
