Legal Requirements for Braking systems on Trikes/Recumbent Trikes
Hi
Not such a regular here these days but still lurking :-) Anyway need some advice - currently looking at getting back on the road in one of these http://www.bike-on.com/newhandcycles/XLTPro.htm but am investigating being able to swap wheels between 650c and 24" wheels with fat tyres for those sustrans trails with the kids days. In theory the only problem with this is the ability to match the brakes up. These types of bikes usually have two brakes both on the front wheel to comply (presumably) with rules on numbers of braking systems. Now I know a bike has to have two braking systems to be road legal but does anyone know if the same rules apply to a trike ? I'm proposing to fit a cable operated disc brake to the front wheel but need to decide how to work the second brake. Any Ideas ? Russ |
