A member here had something like the Quadvelo, maybe I will remember a name or search term. It was a rattle-trap.

regarding your design idea:
You are aware that the open front wheels will be an aerodynamic disaster?
The donor vehicle is open-wheeled. Their platform2 will have a narrow front track, but it is supposedly a carver (leans in corners). The design is nothing more than a mathematical expression, a mid-poly octahedral symmetry spheroid. It's just calculable points on a convex hull. It can stretch and shrink on three axes. You could for instance take the rear [approximate] third for a Coroplast tail to fit your velomobile, the cut line would line up pretty well.

Is your sight line above or below that edge of the canopy?
