Yeah, like I said, I've never ridden a trike. So I'm doing a whole lot of speculating here.

I'm sure the front will still get a lot of weight transferred to it during braking, which is what makes it effective. But I'm betting with a MC sized contact patch, even locking it up isn't going to bring all that weight to a stop in a reasonable distance.

If you had a differential, it might be cool to have independent rear brakes and have a skid-steering effect.
