No sure if it fits your wishes, but you could go for a front mountainbike hub
and make your own wheel + axle. Nowadays they sell them for 15 or 20mm axles
and there is a wide range of choice. I have two Hope hubs with a 20mm hollow
axle on my trike and didn't have any troubles with them so far. Though, I still
need to attach the disc brakes.

Subject: [python] Trike Drum Break Hubs
Hi Steffen,
I bought my trike rear wheels including the Sturmey Archer drum
break hubs 70mm for 219€.
They are really nice and I did not have any issues with them.
In the mean time there is also a 90mm version which is for 20" rear
wheels most probable over sized.
I bought my wheels online - I dont know if its OK if I would post
the link?
Anyhow if you are interested I will send the link to you directly.

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, 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.

Hmm yes, but laws are there for the people, not
the other way around, right?
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
