NEW Sinclair Vehicle!!
Retro Andy:
But it could do really well at the advertised costs, keeping the price low (same price as a good bicycle or an electric bike) and nice simple looks it would appeal to most, so I'm still keen on one :)

coverman:
How can it be the same price as a bike if the bodywork and electrics have to be provided as well?
Retro Andy:
Its advertised at £595.00 with a government cycle to work scheme, and I have seen many bicycles (electric and non electric) for this price and even more. Haven't you ?

We have a saying in Holland, that if something looks to good (or to cheap) to be truth, it usually is.
The Drymer, the dutch variant of this vehicle, has a plexiglass roof as well. To make this roof out of one piece, costs, to produce, twice as much as this Sinclair X1.
I will keep on hoping, but I am afraid that this vehicle will not be seen on our roads, pretty soon, if ever.
