The A-bike is a folding bicycle released by Sir Clive Sinclair in the United Kingdom on 12 July 2006.
 It was designed by Hong Kong design agency Daka, in collaboration with Sinclair Research, over a 5-year period.
 It was announced to the public in 2004.
 Clive Sinclair envisioned the A-bike, and Alex Kalogroulis was the main designer.
 It weighs 5.7 kg and folds to 67 * , small enough to fit in a rucksack.
 The first version had 6 inch wheels, which was increased to 8 inch in later models.
 In 2015, an electric version, the A-Bike Electric, was introduced to the public as part of a Kickstarter campaign.
John Zachary DeLorean (January 6, 1925 – March 19, 2005) was an American engineer and executive in the U.S. automobile industry, widely known for his work at General Motors and as founder of the DeLorean Motor Company.
The DeLorean DMC-12 (commonly referred to simply as "the DeLorean," as it was the only model ever produced by the company) is a sports car manufactured by John DeLorean's DeLorean Motor Company for the American market from 1981–83.
 The car features gull-wing doors and an innovative fiberglass body structure with a steel backbone chassis, along with external brushed stainless steel body panels.
 It became widely known and iconic for its appearance, and a modified DMC-12 was immortalized as the DeLorean time machine in the "Back to the Future" media franchise.
The Sinclair C5 is a small one-person battery electric vehicle, technically an "electrically assisted pedal cycle".
 It was the culmination of Sir Clive Sinclair's long-running interest in electric vehicles.
 Although widely described as an "electric car", Sinclair characterised it as a "vehicle, not a car".
The DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) is an American automobile manufacturer originally formed by automobile industry executive John DeLorean in 1975.
 It is remembered for the one model it produced — the distinctive stainless steel DeLorean DMC-12 sports car featuring gull-wing doors—and for its brief and turbulent history, ending in receivership and bankruptcy in 1982.
 Near the end, in a desperate attempt to raise the funds his company needed to survive, John DeLorean was filmed appearing to accept money to take part in drug trafficking, but was subsequently acquitted of charges brought against him on the basis of entrapment.
Sinclair Vehicles Ltd was a company formed in March 1983 by Sir Clive Sinclair as a focus for his work in the field of electric vehicles.
 The initial investment was £8.6m, which came from the proceeds of the sale of some of Sir Clive's shares in Sinclair Research.
 Barrie Wills, formerly of the DeLorean Motor Company, was appointed as managing director.
Canadian Electric Vehicles Ltd. was first established in 1996 in Errington, British Columbia.
 During the initial years, its focus was to provide designs, parts and technical support for converting conventional internal combustion vehicles to non-polluting battery powered electric vehicles.
 Once converted, these vehicles were acquired by a variety of purchasers including federal and provincial governments, industrial companies as well as private individuals.
 The conversions ranged from three wheeled utility vehicles to house boats as well as various full-sized cars and trucks.
Jim Westwood was the chief engineer at Sinclair Research Ltd in the 1980s, starting at the company in 1963.
 Westwood was the technical mastermind behind many of Sinclair's products and worked there for more than twenty years.
 Sir Clive Sinclair and Westwood shared a connection even before they met when Westwood had previously worked at an electronics store in London which was owned by Bernard Babani, Sinclair's publisher.
 This gave Westwood a good degree of familiarity with Sinclair's designs, which prompted him to join Sinclair's fledgling company, Sinclair Radionics.
 Westwood subsequently had a hand in most of the company's products, including the calculators, audio equipment, ZX Spectrum computers and TV80.
 He is still designing hardware for Amino Communications, and is a partner in Cambridge Electronics Consultancy.
Sinclair Research Ltd is a British consumer electronics company founded by Clive Sinclair in Cambridge.
 It was originally incorporated in 1973 as Westminster Mail Order Ltd, renamed Sinclair Instrument Ltd, then Science of Cambridge Ltd, then Sinclair Computers Ltd, and finally Sinclair Research Ltd in 1975.
 It remained dormant until 1976, when it was activated with the intention of continuing Sinclair's commercial work from his earlier company Sinclair Radionics, and adopted the name Sinclair Research in 1981.
Nigel Searle was the managing director of Sinclair Research Ltd, and one of the company's longest-serving employees.
 He joined Sinclair Radionics in 1973, and for most of the 1970s, Searle worked for Sinclair in the United States to promote the company's calculators and other products.
 In 1977, with Sinclair in financial trouble, Searle left the company.
 He rejoined in 1979 when Sir Clive Sinclair formed Science of Cambridge (later renamed Sinclair Research) and continued to work from the US, successfully promoting the ZX80 and ZX81 personal computers.
 In spring 1982, he moved back to the United Kingdom as Sinclair's managing director, a post he retained until 1986 when Amstrad took over the company's computer business.
