Doe this give the bike coaster brakes? Does it stop when you pedal backwards?

no it does not. secondly a wheel has to be spoked differently for a coaster brake because the force is in the opposite direction of accelerating.

The hand brake only works on the front tire and the coaster brake works on the rear. I don't believe you can alter or remove a coaster brake. We looked high and low for a bike this size that had a coaster brake, so we are very happy with this bike. If I were remove anything, I would remove the front hand brake, but so far my kid has not had any problems remembering which does what.

Because they are inside the rear hub. If you pedal backwards. the brake comes on.

The bike has front brakes and standard rear sprocket brakes. When your hooked up to the bike the rear sprocket brakes will still work to slow both bikes. We really love this bike,

No it will brake the manual says. I tried and it makes horrid noises. I am sure it would brake.

I'm not sure because it's a pedal brake. You use the pedals to use that brake.

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.

Hi - We bought this bike for our daughter for Christmas this year - its great. It does not have coaster brakes, only the front and rear brakes on the handle bars. I'm not sure what the weight limit is, but I am a full grown man (approx. 215 lbs) and "test rode" the bike and encountered no performance issues.

This bike is equipped with a free wheel meaning if you push back words on the pedals you will not engage any brakes. It will jus spin feely. This bike does have handlebar brakes on front and rear. It does come with a kickstand.

Yes, it does have coaster brakes. Very small fixture hidden in the rear. Not a true fixie in this sense but looks like one.

Yes, this bike has brakes. It's the type where the child pushes backwards on the pedal to stop (not hand brakes).

it's a freewheel. i believe there's a different model with a coaster brake, if that's what you desire.

No it doesn't do that. The one you have is defective and you should stop using it. With the unit I have I just dial in the stopping power that holds my trailer when I apply the brakes at a medium pressure.

In our experience the free wheel is only for forward motion. when you back pedal it applies the brakes. This has had some interesting consequences for the second child in the back seat on ours which is built out as a tandem bike. A frustrated toddler in the front seat can lock up the brakes suddenly when they dont want to go back into the driveway home :)

Yes a back brake. If you buy this bike make sure the front frame is not bent. I recommend an American made bike not this one from China

It has both, a hand and coaster brake. It's a really nice bike, highly recommend.

Yes, you must leave the chain on the bike for it to work. It will not clean the chain off the bike. Your bike must have a free wheel system not coaster brake.
