I have not tried a motorised wheel, but I did give a hand cranked ratchet wheel a go in the past. The problem I had was there is not much weight on the jockey wheel so there was insufficient traction to move the trailer about much. I ended up throwing it out in the hard rubbish.

What size boat and is in flat concrete

The boat/trailer is roughly 1100kg and the concrete driveway is on a slight incline (not much room, so I unhitch it and push it up by hand)...no idea what the ball weight is, but I can see an issue with traction now its been mentioned.

A Trojan jockey wheel from repco maybe ok I use 1 for 4m bullshark my the incline on the drive is about 3degs and I can't push the boat the Trojan works ok used it about 5 times now just run an extension cable off the battery with clips
