The streamline is not that bad. At least, not with this mock-up.
I suspect they plan to keep the speed low(ish). And it really carries a big load of batteries. It has electrons to burn.
You do not want a low seat on a bike that outweighs a GoldWing. I drove one and had to wrestle to keep it upright more than once.
Also you don't want a large tail section when you have to drive every day to make it round in 80 days, or high winds would end the attempt.
Of course I'd love to see a Vetter style bike.
But I can also understand why the Storm team would choose a different approach.
In two days it will become clear.
