I thought maybe folks here have some cool designs on hard drive, why not to share them?
So, here's mine:
It's a electric or ICE streamlined trike with composite monocoque body - outer shell made of fiberglass (reinforced with carbon fibre at strategic places) and inner "bathtub" of aluminium. Riveted/glued together and cavities filled with urethane foam. Batteries are contained on vehicle sides. Cromotor rear hub.
That's my fantasy. The 3D-model is yet to be perfected, but first result is already quite pleasant for me.

I like that!

It looks so extreme . . . certainly get some attention!

I've been looking into E Velomobiles - little power needed to cruise, but heavy enough to need some hillclimbing assistance.
Then I thought why not just Cromotor it - noone knows if you're pedalling in the velo anyway . . .

Does the front . . . 'wheel pod' design have an advantage over a teardrop fairing?
 
Are you steering it via the rear wheel? If not, how does yoru steering mechanism work thru the shell out to the wheels like that?
