The brake will be used, but not in a hardcore skid Mark stop kind of way.Is the brake going to be used? And yeah, a lot of trikes are set up that way, plus you can buy cb hubs already set up like that. http://www.huskybicycles.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=hb&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=362-510
I also have a trike, a Torker TriStar, that came with a three-speed coaster brake hub, with a second chain to the rear axle. I've since converted to a five speed Sturmey Archer set up the same way.
I'm actually thinking about doing something like that when I build myself a bike with REALLY wide tires, just to shift the chain line out enough to clear.
Yea, I've been looking around. I think I have something that will work, but haven't tested anything yet.If you are looking for a good jack shaft set up look on the go cart parts sites the have all the stuff, plus the Comit clutches i'v been using for 20 yrs now
It'll be a scratch frame build, so hub spacing isn't an issue.Sure, but depending on your trike, it's gotta be mounted SOMEwhere; some prebuilt trikes have 110 or 116mm between the mounts for the diff/jackshaft. Others are wider, or adjustable. I know tht the trikes i've worked on most, the Worksman Port-oTrike, they'd have trouble accepting that hub without modification.

Just designing in my head right now, and I'm sure we all know how well that always works.
