Hmmm ... not sure how that'd work in windy weather ... it's effectively a lightweight high-sided vehicle, and I don't think I'd fancy my chances of staying upright or in a straight line for quite a lot of the year!

That's just a container that happens to fit on the back. Can also be used as a flatbed.

But the Podbike looks futuristic, sleek and purposeful, the Sinclair job doesn't look too bad either. It is quite possible to design and build enclosed EPACs, EAHPVs, whatever, that look neither comical nor fugly - too many companies are managing to do so to make any excuses for fugliness to be acceptable.
Don't think I fancy it really imagine a heavy lorry behind you.

Ah, OK. That'd work better in windy places.

If I had somewhere off road and secure to park it, I'd love one! The teeny-tiny electric cars look huge fun, too - and somewhat more securely lockable and leavable ... with little difference in cost from what I can see.

No real problem, you become aware of what's on the road and a bit more assertive in your cycling.
Rather you than me lorry drivers used to be Knights of road but nowadays some are very aggressive think you would be better off in a city car than them they look death traps to me .But good luck to you.

To be fair, a Ford Focus is just as likely to kill you as a lorry if it drives over your torso, windpipe or head. Being merely killed is ultimately just as dead as being overkilled.
Being run over while riding your pink Barbie shopper is liable ro prove just as injurious as being run over while riding one of these enclosed bicycles, yet you still ride your 2 wheeler quite merrily. These devices are no less safe than a normal bicycle.

thus far i have managed to avoid being killed to death on two wheels , i dont see why any of the above would be any more dangerous

And, for a while, three wheels.
They're not, that's a common misconception.
