I really like that first one. That's somewhat the design I'm thinking of for my own reverse trike, except I was thinking about fairing in the wheels, too, since it's not possible for me to use really thin ones. They'd have to be mountain-bike-ish wheels, because of the types of roads and terrain I'd be using it on at speed.

I'd be perfectly happy with 40-45 MPH, since it's much faster than walking, and nobody says anything about bikes on the streets out here, since there's really no other place to ride them.
