FireFly LED Shell
If there are two things cyclists have to worry about, they would be the weather and making sure cars can see them. That’s why the designers at GeoSpace Studio set about building a vehicle to resolve both issues. The FireFly is a recumbent tricycle outfitted with an LED-lit dome that keeps the rider visible and protected from the elements.

I don't know it was intended to ever go to market. Looks like more of a home project using small diameter aluminum tubing and doped dacron. Possibly with a Zzipper handlebar fairing as the canopy.
