Regarding motor-assist, if the python is being pulled by at the front, dynamics
may be altered (reduced PSI?). Has anyone try rear wheel electric motor yet?
I am wondering if it's similar to braking rear wheel.
With a shell, the air flow may stabilize at high speed (if there is no
cross-wind). Here is another solution that may help python in both speed and
stability,
