Begin by buying some 3/4" PVC PIPE to assist in designing the tank. (don't forget the 90s, Tees, and 4ways)
Then start shopping around for three front forks, PREFERABLY: mountain bike, then you'll need the shocks (6), brakes(3), turn signals, headlight, speedometer, radio, etc.

[MOTORS] [LUBRICATION] [MODELS] [Full Parts list (Under Construction)]
This TRIKE uses compressed air for the motor(s), the suspension, the tires, you can even use the air to wipe the RAIN off the window!.
The storage allows you to keep an aerobic heart rate even stopped at a light.
And then accelerate away.
Use your body to beat the system!
If you live close to work, and you've added the solar cell/compressor, you may not even have to PUMP, and the exhaust from the motor(s) is cool air!If you use solar cells and a nickel-iron-potassium hydroxide (ashes) battery, you can even have a stereo!
Parts are up to the builder, but I recommend mountain bike tires, disc brakes, double acting bike pumps for the shocks, fluidic controls (HVAC suppliers) for the suspension, and you should have a good canvas company build the skin, they're expensive but will last longer!
