That's how we sometimes introduce first-timers (usually kids) to the idea of riding, it's easier to balance especially in the taffic jams and isn't as dangerous for first-timers;
The space between and over two back wheels may be used for a motor, a battery and a place to put your luggage on.
They have a good marketable slogan already in the name, as they are Try-cycles.

You just need to design it to cool and\or professional so the rider won't be afraid of looking like a kid or a clown.

Pro and con: it's width is way more than that of a bycicle, but at the same time it gives a bit of wiggle space for your feet.

Don't be sorry, that's good that you are against commercial influx into our Fediverse communities. I hated it on reddit myself and I can get behind what you was thinking and why it triggered you. I just can't help myself by word it like it's an ad.

Future shower tip, avoid heavy buzzwords (promo, business, fear, etc). Showerthoughts typically sound like laid-back ideas since an actual shower is quite similar and relaxed.

Bicycle riding is relaxing and fun. I got that notion late after re-rereading the post.
