They have been for sale in Europe for a while. The first time I saw one was in marketing material from National Cycle, who makes windshields for motorcycles. I think they are called “enclosed scooters.” ---

Was it a trike? If so, I saw one going down the road just a few days ago. ---

They have them with two wheels, three wheels, and four wheels. Here are a few pictures. ---

I drove an Isetta on the highway. I don’t know how to post a picture, being technically challanged as I am, so I posted a link to a picture instead. [http://www.microcarmuseum.com/tour/bmwisetta250.html](http://www.microcarmuseum.com/tour/bmwisetta250.html) ---

> I dare anyone here to drive one on an American interstate. I don’t see how it would be any different than riding a regular scooter like the Honda Silverwing or a motorcycle on an interstate. I ride a motorcycle on the interstate as often as five days a week. Riding the BMW in the third picture wouldn’t be that different. It just takes some fortitude. Some have it, and some don’t. It is nothing to be ashamed of. ---

That red one looks like it’d be (ahem) interesting in a strong crosswind… ---

I know. But it would be quite “interesting” to have a car that could fit in the back of most minivans and SUVs. ---
