Many refinements are called for before taking it up to warp speed.The rear fork assembly needs redesigning. I have pretty much worked that out.
ProtoT 3 & 4:
3-I will be moving toward a high performance recumbent variant more like a street luge. Kind of like a low-to-the-ground, lean steering, fighter pilot for long winding roads with sweet grades. Possibly an off-road performance model also (titanium rear fork?). Maximum velocity.
With a dual wheel channel truck steering system up front, the rear wheel (gyroscopic) leans with the deck into the turn. This keeps the G-force vectors more parallel to the rear wheel, making for excellent high G traction. The deck is level with or below the axles. Dual front wheels keep high traction in the front of the board. Traction on the beast is outstanding. The gyroscopic effect of a large (12" bike or greater) rear wheel increases stability with speed.

4-A terra-sailboard variant.
