he Sinclair C5 is a small one-person battery electric vehicle, technically an "electrically assisted pedal cycle".[1] (Although widely described as an "electric car", Sinclair characterised it as a "vehicle, not a car".[2]) It was the culmination of Sir Clive Sinclair's long-running interest in electric vehicles. Sinclair had become one of the UK's best-known millionaires and earned a knighthood on the back of the highly successful Sinclair Research range of home computers in the early 1980s. He now hoped to repeat his success in the electric vehicle market, which he saw as ripe for a new approach. The C5 emerged from an earlier project to produce a Renault Twizy-style electric car called the C1. After a change in the law prompted by lobbying from bicycle manufacturers, Sinclair developed the C5 as an electrically powered tricycle with a polypropylene body and a chassis designed by Lotus Cars. It was intended to be the first in a series of increasingly ambitious electric vehicles, but in the event the planned development of the followup C10 and C15 electric cars never got further than the drawing board.
Sinclair's was once one of Belfast's most prestigious department stores. The first part of the store on Royal Avenue was built in 1926 in the classical style faced with a yellowish terracotta.
As a consequence of the troubles, the department store closed and on 1 September 1972 and the building was sold off to a Japanese company for just £60,000. Today it is occupied by a cafe, with office space above. The building is listed Grade B+, the equivalent to Grade II* listed status in Britain.
Designed by ecentric technology millionaire, Sir Clive Sinclair, the C5 was designed to take advantage Uk road rules. Designed to not exceed 15 mph (24km/h) and to be driven without a driver's licence.
The C5 was envisioned to help reduce inner-urban road congestion, however, certain aspects of the designed failed to meet customer requirements for weather protection, occupant crash protection and protection from the vehicluar emissions from other road users. The project also suffered from the lack of development in battery technology (still a burden to would-be electric car makers).
Perhaps a vision of the motoring future held by today's Green Lobby (so watch out!).

The Sinclair Research C5 is a battery electric vehicle invented by Sir Clive Sinclair and launched by Sinclair Vehicles Ltd in the United Kingdom on 10 January 1985
Sir Clive began developement in the 1970's with work on the eletric motor by Chris Curry but the project was shelved as the company concentrated on electronic calculators.
The project was looked at again from 1979 and a change of legistlation in 1983 made the idea a lot more vible and it became a serious project.
As developement cost spiralled Sir Clive sold £12 million of stock in Sinclair Research, to found Sinclair vehicles, Lotus were commissioned to bring on the developement and Hoover at Methyr Tidfil were commissioned to produce the vehicles with the elcric motor coming from Polymer, Italy amid claims that it was to be powered by a washing machine motor.
But the buying public were sceptical, with fears that such a low vehicle was inherently unsafe in traffic, its lack of weather protection and slow speeds for a road vehicle (15 mph)
It was put on sale in 1985 for £399 plus £29 for delivery, it became an object of media and popular ridicule during 1980s Britain and was a commercial disaster, selling only around 17,000 units. Sinclair claimed it remained "the best selling electric vehicle" as recently as 2010, though it had been overtaken by 2011 when the Nissan Leaf had sold over 20,000 units.

Clive Sinclair was an innovative producer of electronic goods and in the early 1980s he announced a range of electric cars. The first product was called the C5 and was launched in 1985. In fact it was a battery powered tricycle, driven by a 12-volt lead acid battery.
Hoover were contracted to produce the vehicle, incorporating a plastic body, with Sinclair providing the design and marketing. Hoover also provided customer service facilities. The law at that time would have allowed anyone over 14 years of age to drive it, and it required no road tax or M.o.T. A whole range of accessories were envisaged, including special rainwear and a rear mounted pole to improve visibility to other road users. The vehicle was sold through mail order and through outlets such as Eastern Electricity Board shops. It was priced at £399 plus £29 packing and delivery.
The public were unimpressed and few were sold. Thus the Sinclair range came to an abrupt halt. Presented to the Museum by Eastern Electricity in 1995

Sir Clive Sinclair's C5 mini car, introduced in 1985 never became established as personal transport for the able bodied but his concept of a small electrically powered vehicle for one person gave rise to the mobility scooter for the disabled. The Riverside Museum displays include a C5 and an early mobility scooter. In connection with the vintage vehicle event on 22nd June 2014, members of the public had the opportunity of trying out a still operational C5.
