I've looked at a variety human powered vehicles over the last 30 years. For a velomobile I would suggest an aluminum tub tadpole with ABS body panels and at least a rear suspension. Figure costs up to $4,000 USD for a small electric motor system and light weight components such as disk brakes. A tandem set up with some cargo room would be ideal. For a single person I'd go with a full fairing bicycle with a suspension and aero bars. I like a bike I can load on a bus, car rack, or train if needed. If your pedal car is wider than a meter and cruising speed does not keep up with motor traffic then you may become a traffic hazard.
