Is the hand break the only break or do the peddles brake as well?

The peddles brake too! Is a very good bike! Have it for my 6 years old son.

Foot break too. I actually left the hand break off during assembly so my son would have less to deal with as he learned how to ride.

The peddles brake, too (with the usual pushing-back motion). We've been really pleased with this bike!

Yes you can peddle and turn at the same time. Unfolded it is a normal bike.

Yes, it has a coaster brake and a rear wheel hand brake. It also has a chain guard which is nice for kids.

Never had a problem with peddling effort. The rubber tires are what make this trike easy to peddle as opposed to trikes with plastic tires that lose grip and spin.

I have the single back wheel. No the brakes don't lock but I haven't had a problem with that . This sure beats crutches. You can get around fast. I had bunion surgery and will be non bearing for 3 weeks . I think this thing is going to be great

It has the hand brake on the side, and a handle in the middle to switch from peddling and coasting... So yes it has both.

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

No breaks. My daughter who is two can peddle and stop by herself, sometimes with a little help. It is a great tricycle, we would buy again.

Yes, the bike has pedal brakes and handle breaks. We have been very happy with this bike!

It has petal brakes but not hand brakes. Basically, you try to petal backwards (reverse petal) for it to brake.

Training whells are removable and yes, reverse peddles to brake....awesome bike!

This bike has both front and rear hand brakes. They work really well too. I would have preferred the other type as I had never used hand brakes before. I am more familiar with them now and it is all ok.

Yes it has foot brakes. Simply your kid uses his legs to turn the pedals backwards then the rear tire locks.

Hi L. Daniel,Not at this model. You will find hand break at fixed front wheel model.

Yes, there are brakes. The same levers used to operate the wheel lock mechanism are used as brakes. To lock the wheels, the levers are pushed down (away from the handles). To brake, the levers are squeezed toward the handles just as you would operate handbrakes on a bicycle. This is a good machine. No issues with it.

the rear brake kit is a stomp break, which is your primary method of braking. the kit is a superior mechanism, and should be bought. the alternative seems to be to use your shoe directly (why?). the hand brake is a front brake, which is really only something you use when at a stand still waiting (unless you want to practice your vaudevillian tumbling).

Technically yes. There's a coaster brake which means you have to paddle back ways to stop the cycle. But there're no hand brakes.
