This electric bike uses two gyroscope flywheels to balance itself, and it doesn't turn over in slow collisions. It is rock solid.
It seats two in tandem. IDK what is costs, but manufacturing costs should be lower than three or four wheel vehicles, mainly from reduced weight. It has a fully enclosed body, IDK about air conditioning.
Some websites claim the Modi AC bike model video shown above is faked.
Here's another vehicle that is real, and possible to buy now.
"Reclaim your freedom and stay ahead of the curve. Make traffic jams and parking headaches a thing of the past. The Carver perfectly combines the agility and ease of a scooter with the comfort and safety of a car.
The purchase price of the Carver is €7.990 euro (incl 6% VAT).
You need a scooter driving license to drive the Carver. If you already have a motor driving license, you can just step in and go.
Depending on whether you opt for purchase of your Carver at 6% or 21% VAT your Carver will need to have an insurance plate or a regular yellow scooter (45 km/h) licence plate. Liability insurance is mandatory, according to Dutch legislation.
The traffic rules are similar to that of a 45 km/hr scooter. The Carver can be driven on the public roads up to a maximum speed of 45 km/hr within urban areas. On the cycle & scooter paths the Carver is allowed to drive up to a maximum speed of 30 km/hr. Outside urban areas the Carver needs to stay on the cycle & scooter paths.
You can park In scooter parking places or other designated parking spots or on the sidewalk.
The top speed is 45 km/hr and the Carver accelerates from 0 – 45 km/hr in just 8 seconds, and it weighs 330 kilograms."
Powered by an electric engine, the Carver is a pollution-free and silent means of transport, contributing directly to a cleaner environment.

That’s pretty amazing! Who wouldn’t want one of those!
Since battery cost makes EVs expensive, it's a good way to minimize battery size while having great range. It wouldn't work for a large family.
