Still in development, but certainly a step in the right direction. Seems a perfect runabout vehicle to get you to public transportation and to get groceries on the way home. Hopefully wider adoption can bring the price down. It would also function as a grid connected battery as mentioned in this "Living on Earth " segment. https://loe.org/shows/shows.html?programID=24-P13-00035

    PS: for a bit of personal context, I also cycle regularly in Bretagne (France) and Brussels (Belgium) which are both infamously renown for… the rain. Yes, it’s raining a lot there, and yet, with a helmet, jacket and optionally a pair of rain paints, you get wherever you need mostly dry. I’m not saying a complete right cover wouldn’t be nice but if the trade off is a much larger vehicle to park, might not fit on cycling roads and is multiple times more expensive, I’m not convinced. Maybe I’m just stuck in my “old” ways.
