I preordered a Sinclair X-1 bike (i didn't pay anything), but it unfortunately never got built. I believe Sinclair's son is still promoting it on Instagram.

The idea of an electric bicycle with weather protection is obvious, unfortunately it seems they are too expensive to manufacture to ever leave their tiny market niche. Most new models never make it to production (and there are lots of them - look through this forum thread: https://www.pedelecforum.de/forum/index.php?threads/ein-rege... ).

This is especially ironic given that Sinclair himself is iconic because he did things cheaper than most people thought possible.
