Whoa! +1 for https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Hot-Sale-2022-New-Che... Is that legal to drive on US roads?!

Depends on the state and municipality. Check your local laws regarding golf carts.

Definitely not. Electrek bought a LEV (Light Electric Vehicle) truck like this and it wasn’t. They’re unsafe for roads due to lack of many safety features

It doesn't surprise me that they are not street legal...but it's interesting to me that in all practicality, they are probably safer than riding a bike; and yet bikes are legal.
