There are a number of velomobiles available on facebook $3000 used and starting at $6000 USD new. I am streamlining upright bikes to use in traffic.

For a velomobile, most likely the Cybertruck windshield wiper motor?

That would be technically correct and I think it would be funny!

Just trying to be 'technically correct'.

Have you ever seen Frank Lloyd Wright's four wheeler?


https://external-content.duckduckgo....c11&ipo=images

You can see the shadow of the fourth wheel. The idea was that when the car was rolling you could see through the portholes in the six-foot tall wheel.

Xist should feed that picture to an AI imaging service. Prompt for gold and white baroque greebling. I won't touch them meself.

A pentacycle ("hen and chickens" ) is a human-powered five-wheeled vehicle.
