Patricks idea of a seat belt is nice. At the moment I'm dealing with a
set of drum brake on the rear axles (python trike). There are ones for
wheelchairs and some for children buggies from Chariot. Last one
would cost me about 300,-€ incl. wheels, brakes and a straight axle (I
normally wanted to have a low axle from wheel to wheel). There are
also disk brake calipers for left and right at rolko.com
<http://rolko.com>, what makes it possible to use small brake discs
(maybe d120 or something like that). Now I have to think about, what's
easier and/or safes some weight, money, time, nerves, ....

Hi
I think in Germany too, two break systems on the front wheel, even
as independent as a coaster break and a rim break will suffice
from the legal point of view.
I once had a cheap tire jump of rim off the front wheel and was
rather happy to have a rear break :-).
I am not talking against a second set of breaks on the front
wheel, but a break on the rear wheel has its merits too.

Since a rear brake on a python is rather useless and a double
brake on the front makes much more sense (safety wise), I doubt
whether you would ever run into problems.
A python is just so different compared to a normal bike that
there is no point to conform to that law, I think. For a python
with a low CoG a seat belt is a better idea than a rear brake ;-p
