Frank Lee, that VW 1 liter is pretty much what I envision as an ideal long range commuter. The FVT body style is a lot sportier and the output is too high, but both share the tandem seating and a wider front end for stability. The tandem seat also extends the wheelbase which smooths out the rough roads and helps soften the pounding you get transmitted to your back. If the seat could be adjustable to fit the driver like Bicycle Bob referred to you would be pretty near perfect.
But does it come in Hi-Viz yellow?
