Sir Clive tries again

[MCsanandreas]

i saw a C5 back in the summer being used! horrible thing the rider?driver?pilot? had to pedal it up a very short not too steep slope.
not seen one for years before that.

 

[Pogo]

Maybe I'm just one of the typical naysayers,
but when it comes to recumbents and C-5's
I'm with the masses when it comes to pointing and staring
and going 'WTF!'...

Totally stupid and pointless idea
:roll:

That Bond Bug takes me back. Had a poster as a kid.
Some scary Sinclair stuff on the site, but this still has to one of the styliest calculators ever,

Very Bang & Olufsen looking

I prefer my LIDL £1.99 Mac Compatible, but I am hearing the point that it is an ok recumbant. We don't know the weight yet, I am interested to hear the real details...

I still have a Sinclair calculator, and I had some of the Hifi for a while. Made just down the road from here too.

They've actually designed something that looks less modern and high tech than the C5. Impressive.

I'm wearing a Sinclair t-shirt today

Its about 30kg, but how much of that is batteries and electric motors I don't know. With a 10 mile range I can't see it having a huge, heavy battery pack.

Th Abike folder looks interesting too:

I've had a soft spot for Sinclair products since owning a ZX80 back in the day.

ABikes not much more than a gimmick.
If you hit anything not much bigger than a grain of sand it would be similar to riding a 20-26" wheel into a breezeblock. In fact the teeth you'd knock out from face planting would be the breezeblock for the next ABike along

10 mile range :shock: that is a joke :?
As for the A bike. The clue is in the name 'A'rse bike. Wouldn't be seen dead on it.
He must get up every morning and think what pointless & stupid idea can i sell today. The computers he sold i thought back then were rubbish. Some body has to be first :roll:

how do you balance the darn thing when at a standstill? Bigger wheels would help too, esp in sheffield's moonscape crater-roads. Looks like a good lab concept, not much use in the real world

(sorry if its in the link, work blocker means i cant see it)
