As someone that has experience in a wheelchair, for over 20 years after 6 months in a wheelchair and the rest of my life with a walker.. Wheels on wheelchairs are not design to go on the street.
My suggestion would be to start from scratch, build a trike, using bicycle wheels, or better yet, some decent import dirt bike wheels. Look at the tricycle conversion kits rear end for build ideas. Find a couple of wrecked chinese junk dirt bikes for wheels, they are not the best choice but they BRAKES that will be better than wheelchair brakes. There is a lot on info on the Internet
Now for the bad, there are reasons that Honda quit making trikes, they are suicide machines. Top heavy and easy to turn over.
