Drive the C5 is a game created for the Riverside Museum Glasgow. It’s a fun experience that communicates key facts about the visionary Sinclair C5.

Sitting, steering and pedalling the sturdy steel replica of the C5 you navigate your way through a retro 3D game world, dodging cars, bicycles and people to get to your destination with as much battery life as possible. There are official Sinclair C5 accessories to collect along the way, potholes to avoid, hills to conquer.

The museum opened in the summer of 2011 and was designed by Zaha Hadid to house the collection of Glasgow’s old Museum of Transport. It’s an impressive place and well worth a visit.

Reports from the museum opening were of “large queues of children waiting to have a turn”.
