A small electric 12 volt motor with a 3-4 inch wheel/tire on a lever and a push button. Pull the lever and it forces it onto the back tire. A Harborfreight 1200 pound winch with the cable drum removed works well.

Back in 1986 we used 2 Black&Decker 12 volt drill motors, one in forward and one in reverse. Replaced the chuck with a 2 1/2 inch tire. 1 drill motor on each side of the split two piece aluminum wheel. It would move the 300 pound trike back but not fast. Had to let the drill motors cool down after 15 seconds of backing up hill.

As in any heavy motorcycle, you learn to park so you don't need to back up.
