Hi Alex,
The hardware for bike conversion is specifically designed to fit to a bike. It does not adapt to any other mobility options. Even for recumbents and trikes the technology would need to be re-engineered considerably due to major design differences and usage requirements (speed and control functions).
I understand where you are coming from but it would be a whole design and build exercise to come up with a viable solution for your concept. I am not in a position to undertake that or the cost risk involved. I have already sunk about $5000 into this venture and returns are not going to come quickly, there is not a huge profit margin in it.
As long as it sustains my beer and single malt acquisitions during my retirement I'll be happy. Anything more will be bonus !!
