I don't want to put the motor on the boom regardless. Because of the Rotovelo's molded body the area behind the seat is outside of the body shell. I want to mount the motor and batteries outside of the body behind the seat. That way you don't have any noise from the motor and drivetrain inside of an echo chamber with you. Plus by adding a jackshaft behind the seat I can shorten the pedal chainline and have two stage gearing for higher gearing without using huge sprockets. Finally, having the motor and batteries low and centrally mounted is going to make the tadpole handle better. I really do want to build one. I'd like to see if I could get 1,000 mpg(e) at 50 mph.
