Sinclair's Answer To The Segway

Posted by simoniker on from the c6-hopefully-to-include-rubber-keyboard dept.

slumos writes "BBC News Online is reporting on Sir Clive Sinclair's reaction to the Segway. The British inventor thinks it's fine for factories, but not for crowded streets, and he's even planning some competition in the form of a top-secret follow-up to the Sinclair C5."

    I would like to see a followup to the ZX-Spectrum.

    Even George Bush took a ride on one, although any White House endorsement was somewhat undermined when he was catapulted over the handlebars.

    That's what he would call bad driving strategery.

    If I were him I'd throw an over-sized muffler on it, a huge wing and some carbon fibre parts. Than offer bigger rims, lowering springs and an enormous stereo as aftermarket add ons.

    He'd sell alot more that way.
