A rudder would be interesting,using sensors,when side winds start to upset stability add a little rudder,ha ha,but it could work.Side winds are not such a big deal,a long wheel base gives the enclosed bike added stability plus it reduces the effect of side winds.Also by playing with front end settings,can further reduce the effects.Lit motors will use a gyro to hold bike up,they could write software to add more gyro when the bike is hit with a side wind,i guess time will tell.It would be nice to open source a enclosed motorcycle,a long the lines of the streamlined electric,using a gas engine,chromemolly tube chassis,full body with doors and retracts for stopping.I'm surprised Honda or ? haven't built one.The thought of traveling in comfort,safety and the fun of a motorcycle,passing petrol stations ,getting 200mpg is hard to resist.
