This is featured in this month's Cycle World. Interesting concept, but it seems to me to be taking away some of the most important elements of riding, like being exposed to the elements so you can smell, hear, feel and even taste the world around you. To me those sensations are a huge part of the enjoyment I get from riding. I like feeling the temperatures change as I ride out of a dense grove of trees, or smelling a fresh cut field of alfalfa as I ride by. Seems to be a bit too car-like for my tastes. Air conditioning? Really? C'mon Man! if you want A/C, stay home, or buy a car! What do you guys think?

I like it and it said A/C is optional so it must have windows that open for that smell good ride. Kind of reminds me of this,

I like pretty much anything motorized but wouldn't spend my money on it. I like the concept and can appreciate the work it took to put it together. I if I won the lotto, I'd get one.

Pass. These things have been sprouting up for decades and I am yet to see one I like.

It's maybe a commuter thing, but not much more than that. For a road trip you might as well get a Miata. :s_dunno
