Sir Clive Sinclair is about to take to the roads again, two decades after his electric tricycle the C5 flopped so spectacularly.
The Cambridge inventor will usher in what he describes as a new era in personal transport next month when he unveils his latest product – the world’s lightest portable bike.
Weighing in at just 12lbs and small enough to fold up inside a rucksack and stow on the luggage rack of a train, Sir Clive claims the A-Bike will revolutionise urban commuting.
The A-Bike is made of heat-treated aluminium, folds in three places and sports tiny buggy-sized wheels, which is not obviously suited to pot-holed urban streets. However, a spokesman insisted that the bike had been road-tested and would be suitable for UK roads.
