Sorry, but you are wrong about that. Inline skates and skateboards have small wheels and can handle well at that speed. The trike you are looking at, IMHO, not so much.
I might put in heavier spokes right away, I'll see what the stock ones look like. Maybe a proper tightening and cross tying will be enough?
Butted spokes are the best choice for durable wheels. In this case, 14g double butted would be a good choice. Touching up new wheels (including "stress relieving") is usually a good plan. Cross tying spokes does nothing.
