Dons flame suit.
Aren't your feet a bit close to the accident ?
Sorry for the negativity, but all I'm pointing out is that you have the relationship between the driver and the front of the vehicle set out in
a manner that was banned in single seater formulae years ago.
I know that formula this is maybe an irrelevant comparison, but hopefully you'll understand the similarity.
Again, tenuous comparison, but here's one of the current F1 rules regarding the feet / front wheels relationship.
13.4.2 When he is seated normally, the soles of the driver's feet, resting on the pedals in the inoperative position, must not be situated
forward of the front wheel centre line.
From my own point of view, I know a bloke who used to drive a Vision Clubmans car. He went into some trees hard with the front end first. Walked with
sticks for a long time and was never really the same driver again although still quicker than mere mortals.
Sorry for labouring the point, but I'm currently suffering a worsening disability in my own feet which may or may not get better and it really
does affect you. Have a think, that's all.

Excellent stuff Jools - will be interesting to see how it puts the power down, particularly when just one up.
Either way should be a rocketship!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Good point Zil.
Just thinking out the box.......what if you took two superbikes and had them side by side instead of just the one
now thats super power.
As a long time sevener and witness to four crashes. In these cars its always the front chassis that gets bent after the front wheels get pushed back.
Collapsing the wishbones. Hence the ban that came in force in the single seaters design.
tread lightly and carry a sharp stick

Love the look of it, and it looks well built - alot of fun to be had there !
However as above, if you ever crash it your legs are down a certain creek without a paddle (just don't crash it )

Groovy!
I keep pondering over something like this, have you used the bike frame ?
Got any other pics or webpage?
As others have said , it makes my legs ache when I see how near to the front the pedals are, you could make like a glider and put the passenger in the
front for extra padding.........
