Not your run of the mill battery jobby, but powered by the same jet engine as that Go Kart
The Sinclair was a mid-'80s electric tricycle sold in the UK. Kind of a recumbant Segway, it was intended to be a new form of cheap and accessible transportation for the masses. It never caught on, mainly because of some design flaws that exposed the drivers to the elements, to safety issues when mixing with traffic, to pitiful performance, and to constant ridicule.
The jet here is a JFS100-13A Gas Turbine that has been converted into a turbo jet. It's the same engine they use as a starter (JFS = jet fuel starter) for the larger main engines on aircraft such as the A7 Corsair attack plane. It's also the same engine they used in that jet kart. It provides enough thrust to push this little C5 past 100 mph, if you are so inclined and stupid.
Here's the video's - hold on tight
