I have a hard time pedaling when wearing two layers of pants and a winter jacket. Thermal regulation is challenging, and involves doffing the jacket after a mile or two, and donning it if the wind picks up or I hit too many red lights.

What you're describing sounds like a very uncomfortable hybrid of motorcycle and bicycle, instead of the usual 30mph pedal-assisted moped.
