Behold! The Future of Personal Transportation!
Sir Clive Sinclair was the top English boffin ("clever blok - cha - person") of the early 1980s. His company devised the Sinclair ZX81 and ZX Spectrum personal computers, which more or less single-handedly created the British videogames industry and which continue to be much loved by the retro computing community today.
And then he made this, the Sinclair C5 personal electric vehicle (though "souped up battery trike" might be a more accurate description). His reputation never really recovered.
It seems it was the usual problem of an innovator being too far ahead of his time, what with everyone rushing onto the electric vehicle bandwagon now...
