http://www.trevipedia.net/index.php?title=Main_Page is great.

Especially the 'lessons learnt' PDF. I see lots of X's in the discussion of suspension, steering and brakes. They lament not having a source for tires narrower than 165mm. 125-15s have been around for ages, for the Citroen 2CV or something.

Do you know enough about the project to speculate about some things?

The canopy. There are products like Liquid Armor and Nanopool that give a coating of nano-scale glass particles. These (they may be one thing) give a paint-on glass finish on anything. Has anyone tried this?

Ingress and egress. There's only side impact protection on the off side. Is that door a stressed member?. Wouldn't cut down side and two gull-wing doors be safer?

How do you think their controller compares to the Open Revolt that has its own forum on Ecomodder?
