Apart from using 3 of his motors initially. And wiring them up wrong.
I admit I was rooting for Motoczysz too. Their luck changed in 2010 (when they adopted a US motor!) and they haven't really put a foot wrong at the Tt since. I was more talking about Cedric Lynchs economy engineering and his belief in the same concepts as Ecomodders. The overall teardrop shape is known to be the most efficient aerodynamic design, but car manufacturers must deviate from it as they want to create character in their styling. Lynch talks about this in some blogs, comparing aircraft design, which has changed comparatively little in the last 50 years.
