Is it possible to fit different peddles, such as the type you can clip your bike shoes into?

Cheers

Great idea, I thought of that when you need to really pedal it would help, but then it would change it from the original, this is why we all want two C5's so improvements can be made to one of them.

I assume a set of clip on's would fit, provided the thread size was the same.

With the c5 being fixed gear , I reckon the biggest snag is how short the pedal cranks are - they just dont give you the leverage for getting up those hills.  There is no cure though, since long pedal cranks would mean your feet hitting the legshield and floor of the bodyshell  :-\

Gears would help a lot, but probably not enough for some serious peddling
