My brief interactions with even decades old, lead acid powered golf buggies was that they were a lot of fun to drive.
And I believe there are actually many communities were these are the go to solution.

There should be innovation in vehicle form and size now that electric batteries and motors have become cheap and abundant; cars such as the depicted would already be whizzing around town if we were free to buy them but of course we are not.
Perhaps innovation will happen outside the west where the politics of this is less locked down by special interests and overall conservatism.
Although it's obvious that those norms are probably bad and are created by the automotive lobby.
