anybody15, welcome to ecomodder! You've done an awesome job with your Locost! What kind of engine did you use? I always thought a Locost with a Honda S2000 drivetrain would be fun around some twisty roads...
Actually, I do own Ron Champion's book. It's a great book if you want to build a Locost, but doesn't have any info on how to work out your own design, as that just isn't the point of the book. I'm wanting to build something I can commute to work in and get insane mileage; I've got some ideas that are begging to be proven.
