The looks are dorky, but this enclosed e-recumbent honestly isn't a bad idea for 4-season commuting. Seems like a 3-wheeler configuration would make more sense, though.
At least here in the USA, you can't have 4 wheels and still enjoy the more-permissive (specifically, legal for use on paved/unpaved bike-specific trails) E-bike categorization. 2 or 3 wheels are allowed, but not 4. Which is apparently why PodRide offers a 3-wheeled version for the USA.
