The question of brakes is the need for one quick stop vs repeated braking on an eco-bike. Lowering the seat height means you are less likely to be thrown over the handle bars by a strong front brake. Disc front and drum rear is common enough. Proportioning can be adjusted based on weight distribution and tire sizes.
