You have to see them from a 1950ies perspective. Hardly anyone could afford a real car back then and if one had a family this thing would beat any motorcycle hands down in terms of practicality. They are meant to be an alternative for people who can't afford a car but want/need more than a motorcycle. Besides I think they look cool.

The thing weighs in at only 250 -290 kg so it's no problem at all to push it backwards. There are motorcycles today that weigh as much.
