Chinese-made electric tricycle which is used in a service similar to Uber in my hometown
 
Sure being too slow, and with a small range, rendered them suitable only for shorter routes. No wonder they don't go too far from the CBD/historic district in my hometown...

'suitable'
 
On base, in Thailand, we had gasoline-powered versions of 'trucks' about that size.
I was really fond of them. Minimalism!
It scares me to think of survivability for anyone willing to risk driving something like that in traffic where I live. Shame.
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. :)

You mean something similar to this Bajaj made in India, with a 4-stroke gasser?

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...

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...

Unsure whether it is actually possible to do that unless trained on a stationary something like a feeder.

I tried once with a constant stream electrical squirtgun and was unsuccessful

I used to practice shooting with an airsoft pistol, aiming at bees while they were stationed at some daisies which were endemic to the place where I lived from '96 to 2002.
