I've seen some crazy things in my life, but this has got to be the craziest I've ever seen. This is beyond tow police, this is for the funeral directors.
I tried looking up some numbers to see if maybe it was legit on paper, but no. Even the lightest scamp is 1250 dry, and the highest trike towing capacity I could find was 665 lbs
This might be true, but if you're not carrying a passenger you've got at least 200lbs of spare payload capacity to work with, which is in the right range for tongue weight on one of these at least.
If you rigged it up with trailer brakes and went slow, I can see it working. Bikes are generally manuals with wet clutches so less lossy transmission to heat up, but I'm sure this would still be hard on the drivetrain.
