If you look at the rims, the spikes around the outside don't move when the wheel moves. The tyre/wheel itself is like a giant bearing. I would assume there is some sort of braking mechanism covered up by the guards and covers on the front and rear wheels.

It would be rear brake only and possibly hydraulic.

The issue of breaking aside... looking at that rear tyre, and the little rear seat that smoothly guides one's backside cushion directly onto a spinning tyre... which given the direction of travel, and the sharp edges of the fairing, would surely cause castration.. would it not?

Would it be a magnetic system on the front for stopping?

Don't laugh to hard at me It's just a guess.
