He made the Spectrum computer, but the C5 was a flop!

There is a TV episode somewhere about Clive and his inventions including a car bike if I remember correctly.

In 1992 the "Zike" electric bicycle was released, Sinclair's second attempt at changing means of transportation. It had a maximum speed of 10 mph (16 km/h), and was only available through mail order. The "Zike" was a commercial failure much like the C5, and sold a total of only 2,000 units.

In 2003 the Sinclair "ZA20 Wheelchair Drive Unit" was introduced, designed and manufactured in conjunction with Hong Kong's Daka Designs, a partnership which also led to the SeaDoo Sea Scooter underwater propulsion unit. In 1999 Sinclair released the world's smallest radio with the "Z1 Micro AM Radio".

On 12 July 2006, the A-bike, a folding bicycle invented by Sir Clive Sinclair, was released and went on sale for £200. It had been originally announced two years previously, in 2004.

In November 2010 Sinclair Research announced [14] the X-1 electric vehicle, to be launched in July 2011 in the UK.[15] However, the product has yet to launch as of July 2014.

I loved the Spectrum computer - I didn't know Sir Clive did all that with transportation...
