We analyse the behavior of the projected rotational velocity vsin i for a sample of 20 lithium-rich evolved stars. Most of these stars show normal rotational velocity with respect to the typical lithium-normal evolved stars of the same spectral type. Stars presenting enhanced rotation show also high activity level. No sign of binarity was found for these lithium-rich evolved stars.
