Shortie771: First check all state and local ordinances on bikes and e-bikes. Interstate highways are usually off limits to limited use vehicles, e-bikes, horses, and pedestrians. A reverse trike or tadpole design with a body shell is also known as a velomobile. There is an enormous amount of information at recumbents.com on building trikes. The least expensive way to go is to build a trike from square tubing and get the body from Blue Sky Designs. The only drawback is the low seat heights may make it difficult to see and be seen in traffic. I suggest having your eye level at 36+ inches when your seat back angle is 45 degrees. A good aero package with a ventilation system copied from sailplane designs helps too.
