That's significantly less weird than the German workaround. In Germany you are allowed to drive a car with a moped license if that car is a specific type of three wheeler for as long as it has less than 20 HP. So there are people that are building three wheelers out of a Fiat 500. You can drive up to 90km/h with that.

It's called "Ellenator" after the inventor: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellenator
