Now that's an even bigger why. I can, barely, see the point of a fixed-wing roadable ultralight - you might not have room to take of/land close to your destination - but with a helicopter? And with an autogyro, you still have to have a takeoff run.

And if you want it under FAR 103, remember you'll have to add weight for things that make it road legal, like head & tail lights, turn signals, etc.
