How viable is this vehicle?

http://rom.ciamillo.com/


5 sources of energy; power grid, mini-generator, metal-air battery, solar film panel and human power. Claims to be able to cover "trans-atlantic distances" plus ability to switch between ATV and highway duties. Seems to have all the features you'd want in a vehicle. There's supposed to be a roof over the website's posted design for safety. Although, I'm not sure how well that'll do in a crash(then again how safe are you in a motorcycle in a crash?).

Well seeing that there is no room for the flux time compasator then it isn't worth. Also it doesn't look very street legal
