It scares me to think of survivability for anyone willing to risk driving something like that in traffic where I live. Shame.
Had there been something similar to that Bajaj, with a larger fuel tank to provide enough range, and a powertrain capable of sustaining highway speeds, I'd be tempted to try something like that...

However, in our little gated community, it would be perfect for pulling a utility trailer full of yard care equipment around our 40-acres of park and trails.
We have utility-supplied wind-sourced electricity here, perfect for 'refueling' the little 3-wheeler.
Different needs may justify different tools. You know, a machine gun would be too much if you were willing to kill a hummingbird for instance...
