well, I can see two problems for a start.
1. your car wont work very well with the engine outside of it.
2. You need a really really really really stupifyingly massive airbox to be noticed.
I suggest you either :
1. Make all your journeys downhill. The weight saving of a no engined car will considerably reduce roling resistance when you have to push it up the
other side.
The really really really really big air box, with careful design, could also be used to dispense with the unneccesary weight of the brakes, by using
air as a dynmically passive auto arresting pshycohfractulating, action liposome, wrinkle lifting diffuser of the momentum you may have had by coasting
down the hill.
On the positive side, if you can point your question more specifically, then we might be able to help you. At the moment, im wondering if you are just
on here for the wind-up.
Welcome, and enjoy. Whatever your flavour or size of your air box.

not sure if the action liposomes are essential - can anyone confirm?

Hello...
The guy who recently bought my mate's ZX9R engined Locost also lives in Scotland - Edinburgh I think. Goes by the name of Steve Webster. I could
pass on his email addy if you want to contact him - then you'd get to see exactly how everything goes in. Can't be many bike engined Locosts in
Scotland.
Good luck
Liam
