This three-wheel electric vehicle feels like a car on the inside, but is regulated like a motorcycle (so the brake lights have to be at a certain height, and a few other minimalist requirements, but no crash testing required. Some of the enclosed motorcycle companies may choose to do crash testing anyway for marketing purposes).
One cool design detail: because motorcycle license plates are smaller than car plates, the tail of the car can taper to a very narrow band, improving the drag coefficient dramatically – to .15, less than Lance Armstrong on his bike.

The modern aerodynamic design reminds me of EVE, the lady robot in WALL•E
