The linked little wooden 'Noddy Car' is in fact being used to go into town on shopping etc errands.
There's even a simple soft top for rainy days.
That you can pedal or not as the mood takes you is a good, time saving way of getting a bit of exercise while also adding to the vehicle's economy.
That's where it beats your soap box racer.
It also looks to be a bit more aero. Especially if the nose was rounded.
Basically we are talking a cheap, cheerful , easy to make velomobile as a car alternative for short trips.
As it's 'not big enough' and 'not bling enough' the emotional response is: 'NO: Unsafe and embarrassing', so this thread likely isn't going anywhere.
The ONLY? person I am aware of who does not have a car, but only a velomobile as his daily transport is The ToeCutter.

Good on him! Especially for holding up the middle finger to 'The Norm'.
