The Aerorider is being touted as the ultimate commuter bike, though I reckon the extra width and length would be counter productive (but then I commute along Europe’s busiest bus route, perhaps on a normal road you wouldn’t have to heft your bike around other vehicles as much). I see it more as the ultimate touring bike instead. In fact it would probably be better with the built in electric motor removed, unless they’ll allow it charge a dynamo and/ or solar cells for those multi day rides.

I agree with Ian, Aerorider is too big, heavy and complicated to be used in the commuting situation. I don’t think it would be any good for touring either as it is too far removed from the bicycle concept to be accepted by cyclists and too far left field for most auto owners.
