Supposed to be a brake. Apparently they didn't use coaster brakes, and the front was a little shy, so they added that as an option....kind of a forerunner to a disc brake maybe. Stopping is a good thing. :giggle:
 
COASTER DUMMY-RIM REAR BRAKE

Coaster brakes were popular in the USA and in Europe, though less so in Great Britain. This rear brake is a very odd feature, operating onto a dummy rim rather than the hub. Apparently introduced by Sheppee for their machines in 1925 (though fitted to this 1924 model), you can see in the picture below how the coaster brake mechanism works on the rim. Motorcycles had recently started moving from belt drive to chain drive, so I assume there was a surplus availability of dummy rims at that time.

Kinda Funny a option was a tennis racket holder !!!
