Designing an E-velomobile and looking for input

Voltage & battery pack size depends on some other factors like desired speed & cargo.

For example the Twike can be thought of as a velomobile but it goes 50 miles/hr. That's a lot faster than the typical velomobile which is essentially a beefed up recumbent trike with a full fairing. Since this is your project do you have a speed etc in mind?

I've been pondering velomobiles and one thing I'm real keen on isn't present in most of them. Specifically cargo capacity. If a vehicle is going to replace a large quantity of car trips it had better have enough cargo capacity for grocery shopping.

For safety it should stand tall enough to be visible on the road. I think most velomobiles are built low for aerodynamics.

One of the toughest things to pull off with velos is to not look like a tard in one. LOL

For example, this is nerdish

And this looks cool
