The OP stated he wanted to build a reverse trike that could carry two people at speeds up to 60mph.
I was just pointing out that the chain and sprockets will wear a lot faster with the added load (compared to just the bike). Also adding the body work will make it more complex compared to just servicing the chain on normal bike.
Therefore they will need a heck of lot more maintenance than shaft drive and why I would look for a shaft drive bike to base it on.
