    More food for thought is why the electric velomobile has not caught on. With its aerodynamic fairing paired with electric assist, this should ostensibly enable true independent, inter-city personnel transportation, cruising away at some 50+ kph.

    I know the answer is probably to do with road infrastructure, but I can dream, can’t I‽‽ :)
