I can run to about 50kph in top gear (I tend toward a high cadence), on hills I let gravity do the work above that and save the energy for climbing. I personally would go with the stock gearing on the trike you are looking at, you can always change the front rings down the track if you find it to low. If where you are is hilly I think you will appreciate the lower gearing.
