So I have been living in the UK for a few years and plan to move back to Chicago next summer.

I'd like to take something unique home with me to remember my time here. Just recently discovered the C5.

My question is: How big is it? Will it fit a very tall person? does it have a weight limit? I am 6'5"

Might still be suited for my son, and considering it for that use case - but wanted to ask those "in the know"

Hi there Wecome Regarding the Sinclair C5 you cannot go wrong It would be a great item to take back with you ....The Dia are 68" LONG 28" WIDE and 31" HIGH
And weighs 30kg (without the battery).Regarding your height as long as you can bend you knees you should be ok ..If you let us know where you are living at the moment I am sure you would be contacted about a trial run ...Regarding the weight limit not sure but I did restore one for friend who was 18 stone no problem but the heavier the C5 is it will be down on power and distance .. bye Chas

Thanks Chas!

Living in Camberley Surrey... I have found one on eBay and placed a paltry bid - it looked a bit rough. Would love to actually see one.

Hi there you are quiet welcome to visit me but I live in Ilkeston Derbyshire
But I am sure there some members on the forum that will help you to see and maybe let you have a ride in one

Hi and welcome to the website

I'm in poole, dorset and you're quite welcome to have a ride in one of mine, though it may be a bit too far if you're in surrey.  They're all modified but should give you an idea of what a C5 is

I'm in hull if you plan to ship is it size or weight you pay for if its size take the wheels off ?

Hi Jeff
If you are thinking of shipping a C5 back to the States then don't look for a ropes one and pay a paltry figure. I think you need to dig deep in the pocket and buy one that is pristine and working.
