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.
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
