Riding 'Sinclair A-bike' on Road

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).

I saw one on eBay and it looked almost unridable!

I reckon this is very hard to ride uphill !

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

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.

A bicycle one can take as hand-luggage on an aeroplane. We likes that.
with those tiny wheels, a small crack in the road might send you flying off the bike.

@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.

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.
