Just as a clarification, Roadsmith disconnects the linked braking system so as to eliminate the possibility of over-powering, and thereby locking up, the front wheel causing loss of control during heavy rear brake application. Our research has shown that the braking function, already greatly improved with the addition of the larger tires and contact patches in the rear, is more controllable and effective when the rider is able to modulate the front and rear brakes separately on a trike.
