Better adult pedal cars were made in the 1930s.
Since it doesn't sound like you've ever actually ridden one, I'll speak to the reality of the situation. Everything you said is wrong. With the exception of the braking.
Keep in mind this is for casual riding. Not performance oriented.
Edit: You do realize that many come stock with Skyway Tuff II's right? They're not folding.
