I am surprised that is get's so many stares. It's not a particularly radical design or anything.
How fast are you looking to go, btw? Just asking because it is such a subjective thing.

If you haven't biked it some time, the speed may just come as the "engine" gets stronger.
I'm not trying to go very fast. Right now a 7 mile commute takes me an hour. If I could get it down to 45 minutes either through better fitness or the bike or a combination, I'd be happy.
I totally agree that most of the slowness is in the engine!!
