[QUOTE=mnmarcus;204443]Todayican,
Great project. I've been thinking of a similiar design, reverse trike tandem seating hybrid for a few years, only I am thinking of a 20 something horse diesel with hydraulic pump motors. Some thought, suggestions (for what they are worth)...
IIRC, there was a 1F2R built by a trade school in Minnesota some years ago that used a hydraulic motordriven by an ICE. One of the ways they achieved fairly high MPG was by running the engine continously at close to WOT and using the hydraulic motor to control speed. At stops it charged an accumulator to supply additional power for starts.
