Although the planned wheel skirt is practical from a design standpoint (style and aerodynamics), many have voiced concerns because of ground clearance in snow, pot holes and on primitive roads.🤔I wonder if a dual purpose skirt could address concerns? I.e.,:
Where the outside of this skirt could be removed
(which would be needed anyway for tire access) leaving the above option abbreviated fender “look”. An Aerodynamic wheel cap could be inserted.
The full skirt could be reattached for good road/fair weather driving and best appearance, and return efficiency.
Now that my pre-order is in place, I'm enjoying reading these older threads, and now my only major design concern is the apparent vulnerability of the front wheel covers. I would prefer at least 7"of ground clearance so I don't have to worry about curb-strikes every time I park. The front-half of each cover is where this is most important.
