My concept for a Blitzen Benz Velomobile replica

So this weekend I sat down and fiddled with the idea of a Blitzen Benz Velomobile. This concept is about 58% the size of the original and would be built with a wood frame verses a steel frame. The advantages of building a replica of the Blitzen compared to a Silver Arrow is that the frame is still visible and the body work on the chassis is still quite straightforward without any splines or all too complicated curves. The chassis could be built separately, comparable to building a kayak, with birch layered plywood ribs and birch laths, which are covered with 0,5mm sheet metal. The frame is a classic ladder frame made out of durable hardwood (my proposal Robinieae). The frame concept could serve as a platform for other replicas. I put little thought into suspension, transmission and steering. I can save that for later. Whiles drawing this I did wonder about the weight balance. The original Blitzen has two hundred horsepower motor in the front; a velomobile replica has just two legs there. Most of the weight rests on the rear wheels. I changed some of the geometry by moving the seat forward and the front wheels a bit back. One could also place a battery in the front for the lights and an eventual electrical support unit.
