We only have to look at the strong support for hybrids,Lit Motors C-1[it has not been driven more than 100 yards] motorcycle has generated a lot of buzz.People want these type vehicles,of course they have to be practicable.People want to hop in and go.Thats why a streamlined tilter would work,it would be just like a car,a door to open,auto or stick,all the normal car accessories,it would lean a little,adding a little fun.It would be safe as any small car.But their would be one big exception,fuel effiecency and or range would be incredible.Streamlining is a big deal,look at bicycle racing,bonniville,the fastest are streamlined.90 percent of all your pedaling power is to overcome air resistance,so when you wrap a recumbent bike in a aerodynamic shell with a professional rider,its goes 82 mph,pedaling a bike at faster than Nevada's speed limit,ha ha that what aerodynamics can do,make vehicle go very fast or a very long way just by eliminating all that air resistance.
