Is the world finally ready for a Sinclair electric trike?

Clive Sinclair's C5 recumbent electric trike was by all means a disastrous failure in an otherwise successful history of an ebullient inventor. Launched in 1985, the e-trike was welcomed by buzz and hype, yet bombed completely on the market, both because of well-analyzed marketing mistakes and because it was certainly ahead of its time.Almost 40 years later, Sir Clive Sinclair's nephew, inventor and futurist Grant Sinclair, is sure that times have matured for people to adopt an electric futuristic trike as their mobility choice. At the beginning of May, Sinclair unveiled the pre-production model of his new IRIS eTrike, an enclosed electric trike with a futuristic design to revolutionize urban transportation. Equipped with a HEPA air filtering system, the IRIS provides a safe, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional vehicles. It offers a top speed of 30+ mph and a range of 30+ miles on a single charge, with an aerodynamic design that makes it faster than regular bicycles. The trike is accessible to riders aged 14 and up without needing road tax, a driving license, or insurance.
