This vehicle would be a great alternative (if you count annoying things like rain) if only slightly faster.

Enclosed, Tilting, Commuter); BUT its limited performance (30 mi.
range, 28mph speed) severely limits its practicality and
marketability in today’s society. While less than 30mph might be OK
for a city center; getting there on 45-55mph roads would be
impractical and dangerous. Most city dwellers live in apartments and
high rises and would find parking, storing and recharging
impractical. Might be good for a “Car Sharing” business. Now if
Toyota could come up with an i-Road-2.0 with 100 mile range and a top
speed of 65-75mph, then they would have the “Commuter of the
Future” for suburbanites , and would sell hundreds of thousands; I
know I’d buy one!
