I was a huge fan of Street Hawk and also a big BMX guy. So when Raleigh released the Vektar in 1985 it almost felt like you could have your very own Street Hawk style BMX! It was a BMX with a built in computer. You seriously couldn’t get much cooler than that. It is one of my holy grails and I still hope that one day I can get my hands on one.

Just check out this brochure from 1985. As a 9 yr old boy this stuff absolutely blew my tiny little mind. And despite what those kids are wearing on the cover, they still look incredibly cool riding their Raleigh Vektars.
