Speaking of which, does anyone know of a thread dealing with electricity consumption vs. CdA vs. battery size, or something of the sort? I'd like to have a rough estimate of how much space I'll need for batteries. Let's say I want it to go 100 miles on a charge, use a 26hp motor drawing on lithium ion batteries, and have a CdA of 1.5.

The model seems to confirm the sketches. It will be interesting to see how you handle the front fender/skirt.
