I tested the rear wheel motorized "Sedan" last year und it felt great.
Also the full suspension is ingenious. Pictures and videos here:

And there is an electrified python trike made by Dušan, a slovakian guy:

Dušan travelled several thousand kilometers through Europe with his
e-trike. Unfortunately his facebook page is down.
Regards from Jürgen.

Howard Stevens from Downunder had a trike with motor at one of the
rear wheels and said that he had no issues.

Met and test-rode this one at recumbent meeting in September:

All I know about the owner is that he speaks German.
Hub motor in front wheel (hidden behind cassette), battery
somewhere under the seat. No handling difficulties at all.
There may be more mass at the front than usual, but I'm used
to even heavier one (non-motorized), so this felt fine.
