You will need more than that to get up to speed sometime with in that same day and get over hills.

I started this
http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ces-23130.html A few days ago, maybe it'll give you an idea.
55mph tops is 1 goal, the other is for more Proof of Concept, Starting easy. Just to see what I can Minimally "real world", get away with.. A standard non tilting 3-wheeler is best, and later if all goes well, i can start to experiment with tilt. Then scale up for the Major build with most of the bugs worked out before hand.
Most of the time it would be used for City Commuting, and short <15mi round trips, and 90% traveling no faster than 45mph. Over relatively flat roads.
I figure for the time being, at most 100lbs for an engine/tranny setup, another 2-400lbs for chassis + driver weight.
EDIT: quick search, best example
