Rain - The FUV doesn't have doors so you still get wet in the rain if you don't wear waterproof gear
Fogged visors - It is a motorcycle so it still requires a helmet.
Bugs - yes the windshield blocks the bugs
Too hot - I'm hot behind the fairing on my motorcycle - I can only image being behind that huge windshield.

I would still have to wear gear on the FUV - ask UTV riders what happens to arms and legs that leave the confines of the roll cage. I'm a little surprised that Arcimoto is even selling this without at least half doors after the lawsuits and retrofits to UTVs to keep legs inside the vehicle during a crash.

Not fashionable but also not a hassle. It goes on / off in about 10 seconds.
