4 Wheels
As much as i like the IndyCycle with its trike design i would really like one with 4 wheels. Does anyone know how hard it would be to modify the plans to make it 4 wheels?

Re: 4 Wheels
If it's 4 wheels that you want, you could possibly modify the basic IndyCycle concept with a rear end as seen on some of the bike-powered sand rails. Obviously without all the suspension travel...but you get the idea. Here are some links.

And check out this cool mini differential!

And then there are the bike powered "dwarf cars" to consider too... (try a google search) 
One of the appeals to me of the 3 wheel approach is that it is considered a motorcycle so I'm "presuming" that licensing and insuring will be a little easier and cheaper than a 4 wheel "kit car". But I could be wrong!
