Right, Heres what I plan to do to the C5 (When I get it... 4 days hopefully =D)

36v With sufficient cooling, And Throttle control, Cause lets face it, Are police going to stop a sinclair C5? XD It's not like I'll be using all 36v on the flat anyway. I only plan on having the extra power for up hills...
I plan on having 3 50ah batteries, As I can disconnect other two if batteries run low, And use each individually.
I plan on installing the mirrors.
I would like some kind of lighting on the underside like the equivilent of a neon kit.
A geared system will be incorperated at some time... With T, A and C Gears, Possibly a reverse system
T will be for torque, And will require less power to get up hills.
A for accelleration, Will require more power, But gets to a higher speed
C For Cruise. This will be the equivelent of an overdrive on a car, It will drain less of the battery power to keep the speed the same, Thus making the C5 more efficient.
WIll take some designing, I know XD but hey, I plan on using this as a full method of transportation.

Will also need a cycle computer, And the Hi-Vis mast.

Well, If I can get the gear system working, I'll only use 24v... But otherwise, 36 XD

That's a shame. Sounds like he had some interesting plans / ideas there.

nope, just idle dreams, when you look at C5 sellers on ebay,and his questions, it was the same stuff. Shame, he had the enthusiasm
