Don't believe that a 50cc bike won't get you into trouble. A crash is a crash, and hitting the pavement at 30mph can still put you in the hospital and even the grave as well as hitting it at a higher speed.
Thinking that a slower bike will keep you safe may be going about it wrong. With a trike the self-balance is there but there may be some riding dynamics that are different and perhaps more difficult to deal with at higher speeds, or on sharper curves compared to a 2-wheeled bike.
If you are serious and interested in riding I'd suggest taking a Basic Riding Course, or BRC, and getting your license. Once you have it your options are fully opened to any kind of bike, even a reverse trike, but your fundamental skills will be there to make you a better rider.
