The Amble One is perhaps the world’s best-designed golf cart. It’s street-legal, tuned for off-roading, goes 60 miles on a charge, and starts at $25K.

I wish stuff like this would fly where I live- but the laws here just don't let you use these on the streets. Similarly, this project: https://kilow.com/en/products/la-bagnole
I love the idea of a low-ish speed around-town car that isn't a 8000lb SUV as an option. Most of my trips are a couple of miles, mostly at 25-35mph. I don't need a tank for that.
We got a ‘18 Nissan leaf last summer. 80 mile range. Paid $2500. Perfect for running errands and short commutes. We love it.
Beautiful but still a lot of scratch when you could also get a full-butt Slate pickup in Flash 5 orange for the same price https://www.wired.com/story/slates-gray-dollar25000-truck-just-got-a-crayola-makeover/
I learned a new word from their site: homologate; to make legal or sanctioned.
LOL I looked that up too
See also, the soon-to-be available in the U.S., Fiat Topolino. It's also a souped-up golf cart.

Came here to comment exactly this. I love this little city wagon.
The price for the Fiat is a lot better for this type of runabout
Looks a lot like the aesthetic of the CAKE bikes. They had a great modular system, but unfortunately they failed in the end.
Um, where do you put the golf clubs? On the front would impede the driving view, and it doesn't look like there's room behind the rear seats. Not that I use my golf cart for golfing, but I haul a lot of garden- and yard-work-centric items on the back where clubs are supposed to live...
My dad used to drive a Mini Mike when he lived in the Falklands
