The flat surfaces lend themselves well to easily building with coroplast AND adding solar panels everywhere.
Thx for dropping by Toecutter.
That really is a very nice mixture between aero and ease of construction, with solar. In plywood!

I get that having the 2 front wheels close to the center of weight makes all the difference for lateral stability, but don't much like the 'feet in front' thing from a safety POV.

I also like the visibility (see and be seen) of higher, more upright seating position.

Cheap and easy lean...
Hmmm..!? a new thought! I'll get back to you on that.
