Mad Mel is tough to do solo. You have to stay on the edges (if you don't glitch him like NOhara suggests). Especially in playthrough 2. It takes alot of damage and its compounded with his evasive action. You have to have skills/items that allow you to heal quickly. A fast charge shield is better than a high capacity. It takes patience and tenacity. He also glitches sometimes and the vehicle is unoccupied and seemingly doesn't take damage but you can destroy the vehicle and "kill" him that way.
