If you want to experience real stopping capability, try a tadpole (2
wheels in front ) recumbent trike with disc brakes on both front
wheels and a low center of gravity.

Subjectively the stopping power of the trike will seem less effective
than it really is, since the rider braces against deceleration with the
(much stronger) legs rather than the (much weaker) arms. It is also less
exciting, since locking up a wheel is not usually a problem as far as
balance or directional control is concerned.
