Could you build this?
No This is a physical motorized trike concept with target specs for weight, motor, and frame. Building it requires mechanical engineering, motor and battery integration, and safety certification, none of which vibe coding can provide.
What it would actually take: A real version requires mechanical design (frame stress analysis, CAD, and material selection), sourcing and integrating a 36V hub motor with a battery and controller, and prototyping and road-safety testing. It also needs regulatory approval for motorized vehicles, which varies by jurisdiction. The team would need mechanical, electrical, and safety engineering expertise plus physical prototyping.
