To mount the engine in the front, the hinge would have to be behind the engine. The 26" wheel can be replaced with a 20" BMX wheel to give room on the fork for mounting the base. The gas tank would have to be relocated. To keep the controls similar to a motorcycle I have a 3 speed internal gear hub with a coaster brake. A 44/16T gear ratio give a top speed of 24.4 mph at 90 ppm. I have some homemade aero bars that use bar end grips and angle aluminum. The fairing would be a 3:1 aspect shell covering the rider from the shoulders to just below the knees. Hmmm this may not be so hard after all
