NEW Sinclair Vehicle!!
techytype:
Karl, looks like you have just enough time to make a leisure battery design ;D.
i've emailed them regarding the brakes, could not see any levers, stopping could be an issue geting your foot down quick enough if you cut up.
range is suggested at 10 miles with peddling, and a spare battery available for £50 so 20 miles. be a great bit of kit for weekend or vacation use, not sue how anyone is going to transport it, if they don't have a trailer or van? hardly going to fit on a bike rack ::)
i'd guess there is a folding peg each side for parking, as it's classed as bicycle i'd think you can park it nearly anywhere you like, as long as it don't say 'no bikes' i'd assume?
i'd think it will be likely be affected by cross winds, but would many take it out in those conditions?
Karl, another thought, how about designing some snow chains - and will the new metal gearbox fit ;D.

I want one but my pocket says no....does anyone think this new item will make the c5 worth less ?
marra:
I think it will make the C5 worth more. This new thing will only give more publicity into the battery bike / trike idea, and will bring the C5 back into thought or more sort after, also more iconic.
better than what the japanese have come up with:

............. They should stick with making Mazda's !
At least until comes up :

I would expect people rather buy a C5 if they were to make a choice when this watsit gives them the idea to travel to and from work. Just my opinion anyway. It comes out in july, wait till november when you can buy it for under £300 when it fails.

Interesting to note that Adam Harpers site www.sinclair-research.co.uk now automatically redirects to the X1 / A-Bike page.

Just watched the video... OMG ! I recon I am the only one who thinks this looks ****. The rear looks badly designed, also where are the lights ? I would be more interested if there was a light cluster and a boot. Dont like the exposed chain.
