Something along those lines. I was thinking more of a tube framed with a fiberglass shell. Top speed of maybe 40-45 mph. Thousand cc rear engine hooked to a transaxle. Something that would do for a 10-mile daily commute, would keep you out of the rain, and would get mega mileage but still have enough zip to be enjoyable. Strictly a one-person urban transport, a bicycle with a roof.

The Domino's delivery vehicle was a lot like that if I understand you correctly. Very low-slung, only a few inches off the ground. Looks like something out of a futuristic movie.
