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, ....

Steffen
