The Munzo tilting trike is mine. I only use it for racing, and its single brake is more than adequate for that (as is the single brake on my racing-only Raptobike). Its disc rear wheels would be rather noisy on most UK road surfaces, and it has only 8 gears as currently set up, so major climbs would be rather hard work.
It was bought for fun, of which it delivers plenty
On flat, well-surfaced Dutch bike paths, it would be practical too.
The Rapto tilter (which looks rather neat) has had design input from Bram Smit, builder of the Munzo. Arnold of Raptobike had ridden my Munzo the day before I collected it.
Yes, the tilt lock is a Sturmey hub brake. The steering is remote - I understand that this setup is necessary because of the reversed fork (if it's novel, this machine has it!). It's certainly a very well laid out front wheel drive system - no knee interference - and while the steering takes a little acclimatisation, as long as you just look where you want to go it feels pretty much the same as a tiller after a while.
