Anyone has any experience with this trike?
Obviously low-powered and would be upgrading components, cells, etc...

Never seen that one.
Does it lean? If not, the claimed 18mph top speed would be dangerous.

It's essentially a nice looking mobility scooter. I got pretty frustrated with my 25MPH Oxygen Lepton scooter. I doubt that it's very dangerous at 18MPH, but mod one for 30 and you would be looking at danger.

I asked the seller and it does not. Says that it has 2 rear shocks and motor is: "It is our Zoom proprietary motor. High quality!". From the looks of it, motor is - https://www.banggood.com/500W-36-or-48-or-60V-Scooter-Brushless-Engine-Motor-for-E-Tricycle-Electric-Three-Wheel-Rickshaw-p-1419641.html?ID=517271&cur_warehouse=CN
For going on a straight stretch of road, seems ok at that speed or higher but on turns, have to really lower speed?

At 500w I don't think you'll make it to 18mph.
