This KMC X9 Chain is technically not rated for e-bike use, but it will really depend on your e-drive system.
More advanced systems like Bosch or Yamaha use torque sensors to reduce strain on the drive unit and drivetrain, so if you are using one of those systems it should work well.
If your trike manufacturer recommends an e-bike rated KMC does make a line of those as well that will be listed as e9 chains.

Excellent chain for the money!
I like the half nickel plating.
It looks to be a smooth and long lasting chain for the money!

These are my favorite chains, and this is the best price. I'm not a masher - but I am a strong pedaler. The ultralight chains never last for me. These on the other hand are durable as all get out, they stay cleaner than the ultralights, they cost a lot less, and they aren't noticeably any heavier.

I like the KMC chains. This one came with a reusable master link.

After breaking the SRAM chain, twice!, that came with a new bike, I replaced it with a KMC and have problem-free ever since. I've been using KMC chains for nearly 20 years on various bikes and I think I've never broken one. I commute by bike every work day of the year and ride as much rocky singletrack as I can sneak in (30 miles/week). KMC chains are simply the way to go--I replace them yearly or every other year, depending on the bike/miles.

I've got this chain on two of my bikes now. So far so good. Comes with the KMC quick link so it's easy to install and remove for cleanings without need of a chain tool or replacement pins.

After torturing one of KMC's 8-speed chains on my single-speed for a while, I decided to give the x9 a go on my geared bike. Not many miles yet, but so far so good. These chains are easy to work with, durable and well made. Comes with the quick-link. They also seem to run very quiet. The fit and finish on the KMC chains at this price point just seems a lot better than comparable SRAM and Shimano chains. I'm a fan.

These are trouble free and inexpensive. Quick link is convenient and makes removal and reinstalling for cleaning quick and easy, especially with an appropriate tool. My top choice for a 9-speed chain.

Been using them for years and haven't broken one yet unlike SRAM and Shimano.

Great chain for the price. Better than buying from SRAM or Shimano for much more money to get similar quality. I've been running mine for almost a whole season (almost 1000 miles) with no breaks. I started with a fresh drivetrain and still haven't had any issues with mis-shifting or ghost shifting. Seems to be a very strong chain with minimal stretching over nearly 1000 trail miles so far. KMC's quick-link is easily as good as what you would get from SRAM.
