Fauxchet Wooden Velomobile Explained

3 seat electric velomobile made from 1/8" plywood. Even the floor is super thin plywood. My battery died about half way through the tour. The rear wheel is a hub motor from an electric scooter. The swingarm is mounted to 2x2 thin steel plate dropouts sandwiched between about 3 layers of thin plywood and covered with fiberglass. The shocks are bolted to a ~5X5 board which presses up against the top of the wheel well but swings down for easy access.
