Totoro hasn't had a problem getting stopped at all, in fact it's the
opposite.  It stops very well on snow and ice.  No locking of the front
wheels more than the back.  If I want it to lock it does, but all the way
round.  Hmm, maybe a proportioning problem on yours, I don't really know.

No one has mentioned a problem with the front wheels locking up in snow/ice.
Am I the only one?  I hate to drive mine in the snow because getting it
stopped is going to be scary.  Once the roads get sanded--cindered, in our
case--it's much easier, but on ice?  Forget it.  I've even thought about
maybe putting chains on the front.  Haven't done it yet, but don't know why
it wouldn't work.
