It was long WB- head tube in front of the pedals. He did not build the frame, but he sure made it look cool.

Welcome. There was a member that ratrodded a recumbent several months back. It was way cool.

Picked up this Roland lady's cruiser for $80 to pull the 3 spd wheelset, shifter and stem off it. I'll transfer the parts to my Hyper cruiser for lunch hour rides at work. It could end up on a build off bike.

Fat tire bikes are certainly very stable, so they may work well for you. I would look for one with at least a 750w motor to get those fat tires rolling.
