Funny, I sort of thought that an upright bicycle
was a Human Powered Vehicle. Your version, with the 12v battery, lights, horns, etc, just make the human power part a lot more difficult. All the aero in the world won't help overcome all that additional weight.
Just buy a Chevy Bolt. You can probably get one cheaply now. You'll find them on the lot, parked far away from any other vehicle or structure.
