So it actually applies the disc brake? Something like that could be very useful on a sidecar outfit.
A 2 wheeled bike is prevented from moving on gentle slopes by the side or centre stand needed to keep it upright but once you add a 3rd wheel you learn quickly to always park in gear so it doesn't roll away. That's OK except for the odd occasion when you need to have the engine running when you aren't sitting on it.....
