Someone local put this up for sale:

Rear view -- looks like a car wheel:

This site says it's "classified as a motorcycle", but not here
in British Columbia, Canada, where it's a "passenger vehicle".

I wish I was well-heeled enough to drop $65k on a Go-Kart for
grownups. Speaking of which, here's an article on a jet-powered
kart and some other risky ways to get around. I like the scooter
with twin jet engines:

Why would you want anything else other than a car wheel/tyre on a trike.
What would be the point of using a bike wheel/tyre which would have a
rounded section thus eventually developing a flat area and supplying less
area for grip and traction while it did so.

It's a trike in the UK and can be ridden with either a car or a bike
license.

Sounds a lot more plausible, yes.
