Cargobike, a big chest utility scooter?

I just discovered the cargobike! The principle is to add a "trunk fairing" which increases the carrying capacity on a classic 125 (or 300 cc) scooter.

What is ugly but it could be very practical and econological in use ... By cons I have never seen in the street ... the fault of its look? I dunno ... has anyone ever seen one up close?

I discovered this a year ago. I ran into one once but I was on a bike and I didn't race to chat about it.
What seems practical to me, in addition to the loading capacity, is the weight distribution which is more centered and the true position of the biker and not that of the scooter ...
