This exists, though I don't think it's available in the US.

I vaguely recall talk of safety standards or something, but that might have just been propaganda, no idea.

Edit: according to that page they are, in fact, available in the US

    Yea safety generally is pretty abysmal in these cars (technically quadracycles or something similar here in Europe). Kei cars/trucks is something different, they’re quite a bit bigger than this and they’re closer (in construction and design) to normal cars, quadracycles (in Europe) generally use industrial engines like those found on ride-on lawnmowers and a cvt/torque converter like those on scooters. But this doesn’t matter as my comment were about people being real about their needs.
