Can I return a function constructor and use in other function

Let's say I've something like this:-

let allDataStuff = () => {
    // declare data info
    let people = {
        name: "",
        cars: [],
        bikes: []
    }

    // cars data - function contructor
    let Cars = function(id, name, brand) {
        this.id = id
        this.name = name
        this.brand = brand
    }

    // bikes data - function contructor
    let Bikes = function(id, name, brand, noOfWheels) {
        this.id = id
        this.name = name
        this.brand = brand
        this.noOfWheels = noOfWheels
    }

    // return all
    return { people, Cars, Bikes }
}

I can access people data in other function like normal (as shown below)

let createNewPeopleData = () => { // other function
    // get people data info
    let peopleData = allDataStuff().people
    console.log(peopleData) // this will log out all data currently store in the object
}

But I can't seem to access Cars and Bikes function constructor like the way I did with getting people data as show above. Currently I have something like this:-

let createNewPeopleData = () => { // other function
    // let's just say I've values in all these vars define below

    // create new car data 
    let newCar = allDataStuff().Cars(id, carName, carBrand) // this throw error 
    // push it into array of cars
    allDataStuff().people[cars].push(newCar)

    // create new bike data 
    let newBike = allDataStuff().Bikes(id, bikeName, bikeBrand, noOfWjeels) this throw error
    // push it into array of cars
    allDataStuff().people[bikes].push(newBike)
}

It says allDataStuff is not a function. What I want is to be able to access the Cars and Bikes function constructor from other function (like show above). Is it possible?

You'll need to instantiate with new keyword:

let createNewPeopleData = () => {
    let peopleData = allDataStuff()
    let car = new peopleData.Cars(1,'Yamaha XYZ', 'Yamaha')
    console.log(car)
}
