I have one trike with more than 30K miles on it and the only work on the hubs was to replace bearings after around 20K miles. I think you are needlessly worrying about it. While these trikes are easier to flip than a lower seating trike is this rider likely to get going all that fast on it? It's mostly just remembering the handling limits to any trike and not exceed those limits - same as for a low-seating trike.
