I have a Sinclair C5( a battery motor assisted pedal tricycle) which allegedly has a battery range of 10 miles, but longest I've used it for was two 1 lap(one mile each) races at the Mercedes test track at Brooklands.Tried using it for the one mile trip from home to watch a marathon go by, but was thwarted within quarter of a mile of the destination when the front tyre came off the plastic front wheel because the bead failed on the tyre rim. Boy was that thing a pain to pull home uphill all the way-the front fender had nearly cut through my hand by the time I got it home.Sticking with oil based fuels for the foreseeable future!!!
