Sun EZ Tadpole Trike Question

As part of my midlife crisis, I've been looking into recumbent trikes. A LBS had a couple of the Sun EZ Tadpole trikes. One thing I noticed is they have front wheel disc brakes only. Nothing on the rear wheel.
The brake lever on the left side operates the left front brake and a similiar set up for the right. Being a newbie to trikes, this set up has me curious and leery. Seems like if you were going fast and only grabed
one brake, it could throw you into a fast maybe violent unplanned turn. Anybody have any experince with this type brake set up? it this something to stay away from or is it a non-issue?

Thanks,
Garry
