Cool thread and car. The registration thing is pretty hilarious, too. Looking forward to more updates since this is totally outside what I'd usually read on in AI.

I saw the beginning of the video and was like "that's a really nice blue" and then things went downhill. Not my style I guess. Dude definitely has skills, though.

You could probably retrofit one of those electronic parking brakes from newer cars into it. I think it's just a bulky motor that sits in the hub. Then you just need to run a wiring harness through (I assume) the frame. Finding a hub/brake setup that works with it will be the hard part.

Now I'm curious: How do the brake lines work for something like this?

This was my original thought. But really you're just trading cables for wires. And with bouncy bounce ride it's going to fatigue those wires pretty quick I'd guess. Maybe it could be routed somehow where it wasn't constantly straining them.

Awesome. Those wheels and tires look so tiny.
