This seems a bit expensive for something that isn't even motorized!

$600? Haha, no way, especially not for cheap plastic rear tires.  If Travis Pastrana cap do a flip on a cheap trike, then a cheap trike is good enough for me.

No.

Although an adult scooter would come in handy from time to time.

Ohhhh god, sounds fun!
However, like all chubby guys like me, velocity = bumps + bruises + broken bones
And I wouldn't be brave enough to use it in public - that's for sure!
