Has anyone driven in one of they Sinclair C5 cars? I think thats what they're called.
I raced one eons ago.. not exactly speedy, it was a standard C5 , about 25mph if my memory isn`t corrupt.
IIRC, it used an electric motor designed for a washing machine, and I think the C5 was built by Hoover for Sinclair.
There was a switch/sensor on the handlebars that cut the power to the motor when cornering. Guess it was a crude safety feature to stop it turning over at full speed (some hope..25mph and a low center of gravity!! :lol: )
Anyway, I found out that instead of smoothly turning into corners and going slow, that you could "see-saw" the handlebars and the motor wouldn`t cut out as much, still never got it on 2 wheels though
