Most of the trike manufacturers have something against putting a rear brake on a tadpole trike. There is something to that though since during hard braking the rider weight gets shifted to the front of the trike and it's easy to lock up the rear. Nothing beats a rear brake for scrubbing speed off down a hill though. Many trikes already have the mounts for a brisken on the rear for "parking brake" purposes.
Do you want a usable rear brake and not just something to keep the trike from rolling away? This kit adds a functional brake lever so you have total control. The lever features a locking pin so it doubles as a parking brake. We recommend combining this kit with our double-pull lever for the front brakes. -
