Transportation Market

The notoriety of the Sinclair C5 has made it a hugely collectable item. Examples are not too difficult to find but can attract extraordinary second-hand prices, going for as much as £800 - twice the original purchase price! The Zike electric bicycle actually sold fewer units than the C5 but it has not yet become nearly as sought after, despite its rarity. The Zeta range of bicycle motors are fairly easy to obtain, and so are quite cheap to buy second-hand. The Wheelchair Drive Unit and SeaScooter can be bought as new from online shops.

Please note that items offered for sale through eBay are usually second-hand and sold without any guarantees of any sort. They may well be sold without packaging or instructions, and may not even work at all. If you have any queries about an item being auctioned, please contact the seller. Planet Sinclair cannot take any responsibility for your transactions on eBay. Always ensure that you know what you are buying!
