Thinking about the simplest, lightest vehicle that would be usable on any road, with a low frontal area and a bit of streamling for maximum range. Hand controls only.
I was at first thinking of something like a racing sidecar combination, but that has a problem of asymmetry: even with a helpful passenger, it's a lot easier to corner with the chair on the outside than the inside. So I end up with a delta trike, batteries between/behind the axle, open tray in front in which you sit and to which you strap your luggage. But three track are a problem on narrow lanes with grass growing down the middle.
So, what if you could steer ghe rear wheels so that the front could run in line with either of them?
Just a thought....
