I see weight not being as big of an issue. Obviously you can't go crazy nuts with weight but aerodynamics is the main factor.

Pushing air out of the way continuously is a real drain on energy.

Mass and acceleration are what causes road and tire wear. You can be 100% energy neutral and still not be truly eco-friendly.
