Ok, this idea got its start over at ES but I wanted to post it here as well to get ideas / feedback.

The idea is to build a mostly enclosed recumbent motorcycle capable of highway speeds (70 to 80mph)

Something with a lightweight steel frame, purpose built, room for lots of batteries for a long range version with the "main pack" being carried low in the frame.

The way I have it drawn now it will have room for 172 headways with room for another 172 in an upper compartment.

The plan is to use one of marks motors running at 96 to 108 volts.

Please take a look at my absurdly bad pencil drawing and let me know what you think, with any luck we can get some guys together and build an "open source" solution to going far and fast (and in comfort) on 2 wheels :-)

p.s. photoshop enhancements would be most welcomed :-)
