Here's a pic of me riding it with my plague doctor mask on with a functional N95 respirator embedded in it(to commemorate The Plague Year):



I have the tail mounted. Cruising speed is now around 23-24 mph on the flat. I still have a lot to do to it before its finished. The front wheels are getting full fairings, as well as a windshield and roof, and other odds and ends.

Most of the EV components have arrived. I'm still waiting on the controller, BMS, and various pieces needed to build my battery pack out of some A123 cells(I picked up 792 Wh worth for $100, all cells tested within 1/10th of a volt of each other). I'm going to wait before ordering any pricey batteries, although the eventual goal is to use some Model 3 cells and build up a 1.5-2 kWh pack.
