I just rebuilt the wheels on my '69 Honda C-102 with new 17" X 1.3" aluminum rims and 10 gauge stainless steel spokes. made a big difference in how my old moto rides now. But it cost nearly $200 in rims and spokes.
I would expect these rims and spokes laced to strong enough hubs and better set of axles, to be sufficient for a light powered trike. Like a 1 K-watt E power or 1.5 h.p IC engine geared to run at about 16 mph tops. 10 gauge spokes are 3.2 mm thick compared to 14 gauge at 2mm.
