That's pretty slick, Bill. Way fancier than anything I'll probably ever want. I notice it doesn't even have pedals.
What I have in mind is something a bit more mainstream. One trike I'm seeing I like a lot is this one:

It's selling for about $2K and up, depending on options. I think it'd give me some flexible use choices, both on- and off-road. Still researching this sort of thing. I think one feature that is especially cool is a reverse gear - get yourself into a corner, and it's easy to just back up.
If it'll end up as a DIY project, then I'm thinking of starting with something like a Schwinn Meridian, (traditional three wheel adult trike, ~$400), and using an ebike conversion kit like they sell at ebikekit.com ( ~$1000) to make it electric. So that would cost about $1500, more or less. This option would work well if the Amazon Seller refuses to take back these bikes I've already purchased. (Still waiting to hear.) If I can't sell them as-is, for some reason, I could take the e-parts off these frames and put them on my own standard trike, change out the front wheel for a motorized hub version, and I'd be good to go.
There are a number of makers who have already done something like that, and are selling an electric version of a trike in various configurations, with prices starting at about $1300, up to about $2500. I'll need to decide how much I want to invest in the idea.
People in this community drive golf carts around the development, which is another option, but they can't take them into town. I like the ebike idea enough, especially a three-wheeler I'd have trouble falling off of, that I want to follow the decision to its natural conclusion.
I like that I have options, and can still enjoy an ebike hobby.
