if I was building a reverse trike today
I would start with Piaggios MP3 500, 400 0r 250 cc easy to purchase 3 to 5,000 used, all the parts are there. I would extend the frame a little if I wanted more room and recumbant seating to lower overall shell, one seat behind the other and design an enclosed aerodynamic shell. I would be starting off with something that already does 70mpg has an amazing front suspension. The only issue to solve would be the front bearings or be prepared to change them often. I think that a modified version of the mp3 is the way of futur commuting, in an EV, fully enclosed model two seater one behind the other with all the safety features like airbags, roll cage along the lines of BMWs C1, I am not sure how it would handle in the snow/ice being so light. I am not sure how any very light vehicle would handle snow/ice?? I guess that would be another issue to solve.
