Wow, thanks for all the replies, particularly the calculations and concerns.
I recall that the trike could go a little faster than walking (low
expectation),
so 7km/h seems about right, but I will have my kid confirm with a GPS. Is this
fast enough to maintain balance? If not, then a trike it must remain. I am
more worried about the pedal clearance (safety) while in a turn, and may just
skip pedaling. If this hack works out, I can look into a 20in or larger
version. Regarding traction, the frame will need to be longer, which may
defeat
the compact folding purpose. The geared hub concept seems tough, so not sure
when I will get there...
On a different matter, if the rain eases up this weekend, I will make a second
attempt riding my python bike that I abandoned after 10min of learning, in the
rain with my welding gloves, which I should keep dry (excuse). If all goes
well, I will set up a Wiki page with the training diary.
Cheers,
Vi
