Velomobiles
I have been interested in them for years and would have owned one a long time ago if they were readily available in the states. I was a national level road cyclist, physician, and worked with a handful of national champions and procyclists with cycling biomechanics and injuries. Your numbers are pretty accurate, speed isn't the issue as much as distance and inclines. Aerodynamics quickly give way to the weight on hills. The electric assist is an option on some of the velomobiles.
I would think you should be able to find someone fairly close to you that has one. I thought I had velomobile site for the US that listed groups but I can't find it. There are some UK clubs that have YouTube channels, you will be able to get a lot of information there.
There are some youtube videos from the Netherlands? that show an entire ride with HUD. The speeds for extended rides is pretty incredible.
