Makes sense, I personally would lean towards a key locking device because strong jolts from pothole bumps can unlatch things in a hurray.
Paddle latch (flush recesses stainless steel marine grade), rotary latch, or cam latch?
These images posted of a gas powered GoOne3 back a month ago, show what a mess of things can be done when aerodynamics is NOT considered.

Is there a "lane presence" rational (
like the Aptera below) for going horizontal as well as a vertical orientation at the tail?

Aptera is taking orders for its solar-electric three-wheeled EV

A simple conical tail might be best aerodynamically, but rear wheels and safety lights could be incorporated and not tacked on later as afterthoughts if done right in my opinion.
Then of course there are cross-winds and stability issues one must contend with.
Knowing the center of mass/ center of gravity, wheel loading and center of side force (
side acting as a sail) must be imagined or designed for.
The extra height of a rear fin could be a welcomed safety feature if topped off with a strobe light, or could spin you around like a top.
