Ecomobile, Kevlar covered BMW cycle or future of personal transport

No it’s not quite as futuristic as the name implies but the $80,000 Ecomobile is an interesting new take on the motorcycle. A Kevlar shell encompasses the driver so the Eco can be driven in rain, and the heat and A/C offer the creature climate comforts motorcycle drivers have been going without for years. Of course no motorcycle purist is going to see this vehicle as a replacement but the 50 mpg fuel economy may get the eco-drivers on board, those with $80,000 to spend anyway.
