[Velomobile] My suggestion

To make velomobiles into practical vehicles for the masses I believe
that they need to be all-wheel drive, and for that to happen I think
the best way is with an electronic drive train. That means an
efficient, lightweight pedal generator, a 3D sensor system, a virtual
differential and lightweight, efficient hub motors at the corners. The
shape of the bodywork and the structure of the monocoque are well
evolved. The drive train work has been pioneered by Andreas Fuchs (
http://www.hupi.org/HPeJ/0015/0015.html ).
Of course, YMMV.
