This looks cool!

I wonder if it would be feasible/worth it to incorporate a pedal assist system to lengthen the range.

Also I would love a convertible version.

What about safety? Especially rolling? Would this work in the US from a regulatory standpoint?

At a maximum speed of 28mpg it might classify as an electric bicycle, just like for instance the ELF: https://organictransit.com/ Some states however define a bicycle as having a maximum of 3 wheels, so that might be an issue.

Well would it have a chance with a loaded F150 towing something? Murica still has ways to catch up on a healthy lifestyle.
