It reminded me of the Sinclair Zeta[0][1]. I hope their product work out better.

Clive Sinclair is mostly remembered for his computers but he was incredibly ahead of his time in the electric vehicle and personal transport industry.

Too ahead of his time, unfortunately, because the battery technology to support his vision just didn't exist, and consumer sentiment wasn't really there yet.

I'm sad he didn't get to see his visions come true.
