@beac310 Oh yeah,I can just see riding about on something that tops out it a whole 15MPH! Yeah,that's a terrifying picture of the future with all the traffic speeding around you. No, this was far too limited,and it deserved to fail. The research was more in the design instead of actual practicality.
I have one... but it's in my home country (Bangladesh).. my dad got it for me back in '85.. Now I'm in Malaysia.. gotta find a way to get it here.. i miss it.. i used to show off to all the kids in my school with it (i was 5 yrs old in '85)...
@falkerhard ha ha funny you should say that, we did it for our music video about clive sinclair....see the video by typing 'electric disorder' in the youtube search bar
Now, imagine the kind of wally who drives one...

While oil doesn't exhaust, they won't let you make those things happen. Sad but true.

A waste of time and money was the C5!!! My uncle almost bought one.
Nowadays, it's only an iconic novelty item...

Can you imagine riding in central London on this? You'd be breathing in the exhaust right in front of you.
