Good call. Load some groceries or kids on this things, and with the weak (looks like backpedal) brake design I'm seeing here you're asking for a world of trouble once you gain enough momentum from going downhill.
Let's keep in mind these were designed in the Netherlands, where everything is as flat as a pancake. Not always applicable to your average US city.
>In fact I think the best form of transport is a recumbent tricycle
Until you try to go uphill unfortunately.
- apendleton 13y agoLooks like disk brakes in front to me, which typically have excellent stopping power (though I could imagine, as you say, that would get trickier with an extra 100lbs of cargo in front).
