    Yeah, manufacturers can build safety features. But the whole point of building a box around a motor/tri/quadcycle instead of just building a car is that you aren’t held to the same safety standards as a normal 4-wheeled vehicle. That makes it cheaper to manufacture and certify, and the only downside is they lose customers in the event of a serious collision.

    Admittedly, I’m taking the north American perspective as that’s where I live. It’s probably sufficiently safe for intracity transportation in most European cities.
