"Transportation using lightweight vehicles such as bicycles or scooters, especially electric ones that may be borrowed as part of a self-service rental program in which people rent vehicles for short-term use within a town or city.
micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

What is the chain connected to? If it's both the back wheels, how do you steer? Is it actually connected to a sex toy mechanism in the seat?
The Ass Pounder 4000 will never let you rest.
A quick google for 'tricycle differential' returns a bunch of products that are probably in the right power range and would do the trick. Still need hand braking to actually achieve steering.
I like to think of it being only connected to one wheel with the other one free, so you can spin around in circles until you do a barrel roll. It's the only form of euthanasia approved by insurance companies in the US, trademarked funthanasia.
It's connected to a generator that charges the battery for the electric motor that powers the wheelchair.
