The folding of the wheels makes the wheel mechanically much weaker (think also about torque forces applied on the bike by the cyclist. The benefit of folding the wheel is minimal if it even is a benefit period because the package becomes ticker. I also miss a supporting device for the chest area which should be mounted on the frame. This in order to prevent strain injurries on the backbone. In London there is a recumbent manufacturor that manufacturs this type of recumbents. When the cyclist leans with his/ her underarm on the steeringwheel this can lead to steering errors followed by a fall/ traffic accident. Study existing recumbents of this type and you will see what I mean. Lets begin with a compliment the design looks absolute stunning.

How about neck pain? You may have alleviated the back but now the rider has to crank their neck to look up. I know that when I am descending down a mountain that after a while my neck starts to kill me (I am trying to be aerodynamic and my head is in about the same position relative to my back trying to look up so I can see down the road.) How's that position for climbing hills? . Try riding a recumbent up a hill, similar positioning, just on your backside instead of on the jewels. Being over the bottom bracket enables the rider to produce a lot of power. How about visiblity in traffic? It's more aerodynamic but much lower to the ground, much more difficult for traffic to see the rider. Kind of like a recumbent rider. This design may work well for a HPV (Human Powered Vehicle) race on the Bonneville Salt flats, but I would be weary about trying to ride it up and down hills in traffic. The family jewels…ouch.
