I would think, engineers would devlopa slick light efficient frame on 2 very light weight wheels capable of effortless pedaling ...
Then market testing would prove that it needs a lightweight fairing to protect occupants from wind and bugs, which leads to a windshield, wiper eventually an a/c system because the wind is directed around the passengers ...
Then they would decide that fiberglass wont get them a 5 star crash rating so they consider CF, but it becomes to expensive, so they decide on a thin metal skin.
Because of the metal skin they have to add airbags and now a radio because without wind noise, everyone gets bored. Eventually they realize that the bike has become to heavy for just 1 person to hold up so they offer 2 additional wheels to help distribute the weight and stabilize the bicycle during turns and we have the latest rendition ...
The renamed, re badges 4 wheel bicycle, which they call the car, because it is still fresh in the consumers mind ...
