A linked brake system will help. But say you break one brake cable, then the bike becomes dangerous to ride. And if the fault occurs unexpectedly, then rider reactions are hard to predict, and it could cause a crash.
Don't understand why the brake bother you so much,I'd ridden the scooter BWs 100cc trike,the scrub 54mm off road ride won't cause any problem at all,although bicycle scrub 78mm bigger than scooters,slower speed and less weight cause much less the scrub torque on your hands
