That sounds like a very reasonable drive train, actually.

A hubless wheel with the centerline of the motor at '9 0'clock' would enable a suspension movement similar to the trailing arms on a VW front end. Or a bevel gear to put the motor inside the hubless wheel. Hmmm....

Will the controls be a wheel and pedals, or handlebars (under the seat like a recumbent)? Or will you just hold an iPad up in the air?
