Thanks!! Have to say that that criteria makes sense to me, except maybe the steering wheel. I’m not sure a RWD ‘pusher’ configuration is sound. Seems it might be dicey: just imagining traction and control issues, center of road problems, ice and snow, oil buildup, etc. Enclosed seems reasonable for w/o MC endorsement (generally safer, fewer distractions; wind, noise, bugs) -probably helped get ‘helmet’ off the bargaining table as well as lessen crash testing requirements somewhat. Although MC don’t require crash testing, and conventional autos do, maybe in the eyes of the legislatures it made sense to offer up some protective enclosure.
