Of course, but the placement of the battery pack on the rear module instead of the front clip would eventually render a normal RWD (or eventually AWD which I remember seeing on some electric scooters) better suited.

I'd like to have some fabric on the sides to allow minor expansion, and a rack for big stuff.
Going too bigger it might be better to resort to the tricycle layout. Remember the German-made Tempo Hanseat tricycles?

I wonder how large a family can fit on top. :-) Full-length foot plates would probably help with the versatility.
Maybe it would be easier to make a stretched version for family hauling too, compared to a regular motorcycle. Selling it and lobbying for some countries to allow more than one pillion passenger would be quite challenging though...
