Clive Sinclair, the man who brought you the pocket calculator, the ZX81, etc.
is now selling a small electric tricycle/ scooter. It is being built by Hoover
in England, and sell there for ca. 400 Pounds. It is designed to go for 20
miles, at a speed of (I think) 15 mph. It is equipped with pedals to assist you
when attempting to ascend a steep incline, or perhaps in case you run out of
juice.
Mr. Sinclair hailed it as the next revolution in personal transportation, but
unfortunatly, not too many Englishmen seem to be convinced, and he has recently
had to drastically reduce his production volume.
