I'm trying not to sound sarcastic, but doesn't an electric golf cart fill this need? These look like a fancy golf cart with a solar panel on the top. Is there a street legality issue with golf carts being on public urban streets?

Highly depends on the region of the world. Street legal golf carts are generally a thing - at least in Europe.
Where can I buy one?
In Europe I would normally recommend one brand local to my region:

They have dealerships in most of the EU:

But they are somewhat low-tech with their deep-cycle lead-acid batteries.

Golf carts do not have adequate suspension for roads. They're designed for wide-open, mostly flat golf courses, covered in grass. They don't do well in a roll-over, either. The size is similar, but the construction is quite different.
