This is very good info dating from 2010.
The guy (he is a velomobile manufacturer) takes a cheap motorcycle, surrounds it with an aero "body" and lowers the driver's position, plus a few modifications (transmission ...)
Result 1L / 100 to 130 on the highway.

Re: Car performance against bike and recumbent bike
It is quite possible to buy a good cheap bike on the right corner to start, especially when you do not have a big budget. I started with an MBK mountain bike at 40 euros. If it ever helps, a few things I didn't really realize at the time:
- it is really essential to have a bike at the right size. Too small and you can't unfold your legs, too big and you break your mouth at a red light. When buying second-hand, you must ask the seller the size of the frame to sort it, and then go and try to check.

Crazy, the guy spent (at random), ten times the price of his bike to gain at best almost 1 liter per 100, thereby discovering the laws of aerodynamics. It’s amazing.
Ps: As for the sensitivity to lateral wind, it is better not to talk about it.

Re: Car performance against bike and recumbent bike
Here are four promising innovations: the bikes with Ufeel supercapacitors, the first fleet of which will be delivered next year at La Poste, the ThirtyOne bikes that recharge with coaster, the car that only emits air from Mdi and the first factory of sodium-ion batteries from Tiamat to Amiens.

MDI, I've been in the project for 29 years, it's been going on for 29 years, it hasn't come to fruition, it's only a promise.

Re: Car performance against bike and recumbent bike
of course if it works! Provided that this type of means is reserved in very specific niches such as in an explosive environment where thermal and even electrical are not usable.

I didn't say it didn't work, I said that we've been waiting 29 years for this to happen.
