Is there just hand brakes or are their coaster brakes as well?

Just hand brakes. My daughter is 8yrs old, she loves the bike. It didnt take her long at all to get used to the hand brakes

There is a wrist strap & I don't feel the hand brake is necessary. I love this stroller and totally recommend.

When I received this item it did not come with a coaster brake. I am already through with freewheel back wheels anyway. Thank you for asking.

This bike is only stopped by the hand brakes. It is an easy bike to ride, according to my 6 yo son. He adjusts to the brakes from a coaster brake on his earlier bikes very quickly. Since it does have speed gears, the bike can not use the hub to control stopping. This is a great bike and came mostly assembled. Completion took only about 15 minutes. The brakes do have to be mounted slightly high, but does not impact the operation at all.

They pedal back like a coaster break, very easily actually. Keep that in mind however when you are pushing them with the handle, we've had a couple gut checks because of the break! I also saw your comment about not getting a response from the manufacturer, we were having an issue with the pedals engaging and they responded within 24 hours. It's a great bike, well worth the investment.

Pedal brakes are not funky, how do you think you stopped as a child? They are hand brakes, I wish they were pedal brakes sometimes when the "Oh poo they don't see me and you body tenses, including your legs, hence making you stop", because they're funky pedal brakes.

Yes I believe there is a handbrake. I would double check with the vendor to confirm if there has been a version change since I purchased mine.

Most Shimano Nexus hubs have the splines to add the roller brake. You can go to Shimanos website and check for the part online. It usually it's onto splines under a rubber grease cap. You won't get rid of the coaster brake entirely, is my understanding, you will just be using the cable actuated roller brake. They get hot Nader heavy use so be sure not o use it in long hill descents etc. hope this helps.

Actually, they are Avid Elixir 3 disk brakes, and they are hydraulic. I was surprised that a bike at this pricepoint has hydraulic brakes.

There are two parking brakes. One on each handle for left and right rear brakes.

There is no brake in the handles. There are brakes on the rear wheels that an assistant will need to put on for the patient.

It sure does. There is also a parking brake that is a foot bar across the back. The hand brake is like what you find on a bicycle (friction pads on the front wheel), whereas the parking brake actually locks the rear wheels.
