Looks like a fun little trike!

If you are considering going electric, I'd recommend using a hub motor, the Crystalyte Phoenix Racer 5 series is my favorite. It's very torquey, and is very clean and simple. Just make sure you use a torque arm if you are going to go the hub motor route.

EVcomponents.com sells lightweight LiFePO4 batteries for very good prices. You could use anything from a 36V 10Ah pack up to a 48V 20Ah pack. There's lots of cargo room onboard those Delta-style trikes for some great battery capacity.

Have fun with it.
