Good job, hats off to you! I had the same idea some years back, and again during covid when I would o longer bike to work. As an old time bike mechanic and electronics engineer, I did some concept sketches but never ended up building it. You did and it looks good. Both the sturdy frame, the adjustments ability for seat and "handlebars", and the motor drive and electronics also look practical.

For me personally I would miss the desk space - I really like to have ample space to put keyboard, paper notes, electronics etc on. How would one use this with a regular desk? Have you tried it?

Frankly, I've grown to miss it too--especially when I'm doing breadboard development and need more space. I'm currently building one to be used with a standing desk (a regular desk is too low--your knees will hit the underside).
