I'd take shin and leg guards myself; that's where I always get it when it rains...

Wouldn't you need two motors?
I think the 24V Hilltopper may have some issues if forced to pull two people
and this contraption up a hill (puns not intended), but a single 500W front hub motor ought to pull this thing along just fine - but then you're talking a more expensive system.
There's enough weight on the front with the universal joints and that overbuilt fork that a front motor ought to do the job. Plus, the way it is set up, neither chain drive can be operated independently without causing torque steer.
Come to think of it, with one rider on it, this thing will always experience torque steer, just like most tricycles. Funny how pedal assist would improve this thing in so many ways.
