the VW 1l car seems to b the modern equivilent of this.. or as close to this. Surely this isnt ideal but in a urban setting it would be great for bad weather when a scooter or bike is just out of the question.. like bad rain and or really cold.

Basically a gokart with a shell.. the 50cc thing is quite interesting as in MN here if its under 50cc you dont need a licence or plates or any thing could be a real cost savings..

Even a velio (think thats wrong) 3 wheeled areo bike with a 50cc scooter engine would be cool.. and I bet it would do about 40.

My little folding gas scooter has a 34cc motor and it will do 25-30 mph pretty well with me standing up. maybe ill start a project with that thing... I know you can get these little 50cc gas motors and clutch assemblies for about 100 bucks, and they even have electric start.
