Anyone tried one out? Should be niche enough for a lot of people here:-
- singlespeed? check
- Funny sized wheels? Check
- Lightweight? 14lb - Check
- wierd looking? - Check
Should be a hit?
Nasty little thing. Can you imagine that over potholes and kerbs? Oof.
'Lightest in the World'? Cobblers. There's a good few road bikes out there lighter than 6.5kg/14.3lbs.
A scooter would be better

Bought one for the department(Design teacher) for "research purposes". Concept ok but execution poor. The brakes are dreadful and the drivetrain has so much play and poor plastic components I can't see how it would last more than a handful of miles.
It's on my pile of compoentns shelf wait for me to re-engineer the rogue parts.
Dont the people who design these things ever ride them ?
Clive Sinclair is bats, a few successful ideas and he lost the ability to focus and engineer, probably through over confidence.
I can just see it "you're sacked from my team for having the temerity to suggest the wheels are to small.........."
Megalomania!
damn, i'm too [s]fat[/s] muscular to ride one 🙁

I'd ride that.
If I wasn't already married, obviously.
'What first attracted you to the millionaire Clive Sinclair?'
It is nice to know that some of the money my parents spent on ZX81s and Spectrums for me as a kid is now going into funding his hot wife*.
What a guy!
*I mean it.
Well said Harry 🙂
Nowt wrong with the design of his wife:

Bet she makes his silly glasses steam up.
Wouldn't mind sticking my "ram pack" into the back of her...
problem is she must be madder than him.
..and that bike thing ^^^ up there ^^^ 😯
Kev
Ignoring the bike and the wife, have you seen how cool the A-bike pen is?
