Yeah that's just a cruiser bike, commonly known as a beach cruiser in the US. Part of the reason you don't see them around non-beach towns very often is that we have awful bike infrastructure so it's advisable to have some kind of suspension and larger tires to negate potholes, curbs, etc., and the lack of gearing and upright seating position makes cruiser bikes both slow and terrible at climbing hills. There is no way to generate any kind of torque sitting like that and they only work properly on completely flat landscapes, like beach towns or the Netherlands. If you hit a 5% grade on one of those you're going to be walking it up.
