Riding 'Sinclair A-bike' on Road

[GranulatedStuff]

I reckon this is very hard to ride uphill !

[CALICOTV301]

@GranulatedStuff Hard period! He couldn't even jump that sidewalk 

[devja71]

fox shox full suspension and an electric wheel please. then it would be ok

[PiranhaJaw22]

with those tiny wheels, a small crack in the road might send you flying off the bike.

[dynafeel]

@PiranhaJaw22 following my riding experiences, you can see the small cracks on the road :P

I think I might actually get one. Uncle Clive is a bona fide genius, his problem is that he's too ahead of his time. He invented electric bikes decades before the market was ready for them - in fact in the UK modern electric bikes all conform, by law, to the Sinclair C5's specifications.

Good choice for your health and our future ;)

A bicycle one can take as hand-luggage on an aeroplane. We likes that.

wats the point of having brakes on this bike it looks like it on cruise control, but it is a nice bike 2 have just in case

[cmcLvideo]

I saw one on eBay and it looked almost unridable!

[JUKIO01]

this bike would actually come in handy in cases of emergency, say your car breaks down, your cell phone batteries die, perfect to go somewhere quick to find help. or what ever else

[moochin]

Why oh why didn't Sir Clive Sinclair invent this 25 years ago instead of that useless C5 electric car?

[3yE]

Probably because STRiDA existed back then already, which is strikingly similar, yet has one folding less (twice as large folded), and has larger wheels. I recall around 20 years is the maximum time a patent may be maintained in most countries, so perhaps he was waiting for it to run out.

I rode mine down the street and fell in love. Then I needed to actually 'go somewhere' further than my block -- 20 blocks away. On the A-Bike, I was worn out at about 3-5 blocks and grabbed a cab! I'm in shape, but it encouraged me to just get a functional bike (Brompton).

Attention everyone !!

A-bike Central will have the first A-bike meeting in London with Sir Clive Sinclair !!

Please come to the A-bike Central and note you are coming on its forum.

Hello simon ^^;

I think the A-bike is suitable for a daily short ride.

For a long journey, some modification would be required.

You can find various useful information on the 'A-bike Central', forum or news pages.

Hi dynafeel:

Is the seat on this bike comfortable? Would you ride this bike for longer than 1.5 hours? or is this bike suited for short rides, 10-15 minutes maximum?

Can it ride on snow ?

[nudgy]

I love my A-Bike...

[Mapanda]

Thank you for this video. I want to buy "A-Bike", but I was just wondering how fast it can run^^

Thank you again. seeya^^/"

[dynafeel]

the normal speed is 4.2m/s(15km/h)

and the world's record is 10.6m/s(38km/h) in Korea.

- walking speed : 1.54m/s (5.6km/h)

- by Strida : 5.3m/s (19km/h)

The one of strong points is that you can pass between large crowds in the big city's street by A-bike.

[Mapanda]

oh my... you have the data, in such detail!! and I'm so glad to hear the world's record is in Korea!! I would definitely get it when there would be a stock in the store!!

Thank you for the information and your kind reply, dynafeel!!

[mrbutterfly]

[account98]
