The number one lesson I learned is knobby tires and friction drive do not match up well. I also think I learned that it is better to pull your weight (on a trailer) than to stick it on top of a bike. The bike is a lot more stable. Certain modification are necessary for the people I'm designing this for.

I still have to make some battery decisions but I think I'm getting there. I'm thinking i might put that skinny 3speed front wheel back on the bike. That would really make it clownish I think.
