  1. Oops, a twike taxi. I never ever saw one. Probably inspired by rickshaws?

    1. @mmn @kuro apart from the roof it looks much like the # C5 electric vehicle, made 1984-1985

      1. @McScx Boah, what are these strange details? Did you just google it?

        1. @kuro ah no :-) I had a Sinclair Spectrum computer in the 80s and that's why I know about Sinclair's other weird products :-)

          The Sinclair C5 electric vehicle was "usable" but it turned out to be a bit dangerous to use in urban traffic because: When you stop at a traffic light and a bus or lorry stops directly behind you, at some point the bus/lorry driver can't see the C5 anymore because it is very low and small. So there were cases of bus drivers forgetting about having stopped behind a small and low vehicle and driving a few metres forward, over the C5.
