I have a 3-gear Shimano hub gear with coaster brake on my Monty. http://www.olafjohansson.com/monty/montypage.html The brake never gave me any problem, but to brake with your feet instead of your hands on a python, that is an additional mini-skill that has to be required. But it is not difficult. My reason for having this sort of brake was that I wanted a clean design with a minimum of wires.
