I don’t think the weight is the issue — cargo cars could be built to be lightweight but you’ll still run into drag limitations based on cross section.

You could make the vehicle very aerodynamic since it only needs to carry a burrito or a pizza, and drag is not that even that big of an issue in cities because speeds are so low that you are essentially limited to bicycle speeds anyway.

Being based on something like the Renault Twizy would have a smaller cross-section.
