A Motorbike or Runaway Sidecar?

The Ecomobile is a motorcycle built by a Swiss company named Pereaves. It's effectively a motorbike with a Surrounding Shell for the entire bike, protecting the rider from wind, rain, and debris.

The main focus is on safety which appears to be the essence of why it was created. For instance the Surrounding shell is made from Kevlar carbon fiber, the material that makes bullet proof vests, bullet proof.

Like any other motorbike manufactures they have a variety of models available such as the Standard-ECO, Super-ECO, Super-Turbo-ECO and Turbo-Mono-ECO. The picture at the top of this page features a Mono Tracer.

So as it has the name ‘Eco’ within the title, do we assume that this is an ‘Economical’ product? The Turbo Mono Tracer can do 53 PMG at a constant speed of about 56 M/PH or 47 MPG at a speed of about 75 M/PH. All of this is from a BMW K1200 engine; IHI-turbocharged with 4-cilinders and liquid cooled. The cost of such a machine would cost in excess of £50,000.
