Probably not a lot to add to this really

Yes, exactly those. Basically plastic "tins" around a (light) pipe frame.
I`ve seen quite a few of those in the winter in the yard of the local repair shop that has had their wheels folded under them due to a sideways crash onto the curb stones and the swingarms have given in.
They cost around 10 000 euros here as new, I was about 21-22 when I could get a LOAN that big to buy the Volvo I now have... Took me 5 years to pay for it...

Moped cars? not something I've ever heard of before,
but here you go, they obviously exist, just not in my part of the world
BBC - Newsbeat - 'Moped cars' for 16-year-olds coming to the UK

It seems an ill thought out concept to me (IMHO), and will just clog up the roads - yet again.
And TK sorry to hear your not immortal anymore.
Parts of me still are

Picture what one of those looks like with a 12" woofer on the back on full blast and the plastic tins hanging on for dear life! Last summer I wondered where is that music coming from as I was sitting in red lights with my truck until I looked to my left. Well, down to be more precise. The whole thing was bulging to the bass. Looked like a bug with hickups. I was laughing so hard I missed my greens!

speaking about the safety issue, I just drove past a crash site where one of those and a "real car" had hit together at a crossroads. A slight kiss into the front corner of the moped car had broken it`s chassis and the left front tire was laying against the shock, the other car had no visibe marks on it...
nobony seemed to be injured.
EDIT: just remembered I had this in my cellphone ;D
