How do the brakes work?

Rather well. There is 8 levels, I've only went up to 6, and at that I had to put in a lot of effort. I would have liked a few more steps in between each level, but after the others I've had which never had enough resistance to make me work at it, this is a good improvement.

There are no brakes......you simply stop peddling. Don't worry about bumping into anything ;)

Surprisingly well. My dog walked in front of me once and I was just able to avoid him.

The brakes? I never use the brakes, I'm never going anywhere! I don't have to worry about collisions with anything...

Front brakes are a little touchy, I face planted a few times before I learned to use the rear brakes.

They are plug an play. Just plug them in to a USB port and if you're flying FSX they take over the function of turning and braking. You push down with each foot in the direction you want your plane to go, and you press down with your toes to apply brakes. It's really very simple. If you have any further problem you may be able to find a video on Youtube or you can call the manufacturer for assistance. Good flying.

They mount on a bracket where your brakes mount. The screw that keeps your brakes in place is where you would mount the fenders(front and back).

There is cable adjustment for each handle. You will need to loosen the cable and relax the tension just a little. If you loosen them too much you will lose your brakes all together. adjustment on each brake handle. You will need to loosen the

There are two brake levers for each brake. Two small ones on the top of the steering bar, so big ones behind the curve of the handles (you are going to use them while leaning on it).I used the small ones once, because the right big lever broke.

It works. You just have to squeeze the hand brake all of the way, and then push in the red button. You have to squeeze super hard.

you have to make sure that the brake pads are lined up with the wheels, and then adjust at the end of the cable down by the wheel. You will have to use alittle wrench.

I can't recall using brakes. I would load our lab on the grass and push the back end down so our lab could easily get in. We used it as a stroller while our black lab recuperated from 2 knee surgeries.

No, they do not. In order to stop you must press down on the brakes. I love this scooters. This thing was a god sent for me. Love It..........

Hi - in my opinion the brakes aren't designed to work like a bicycle lock and slow down. I think the main reason for the brake is to ensure that the rollator is completely stopped so that you can maintain your balance. I suppose if you are walking fast and hit the brakes very carefully it could slow you down gradually, but it doesn not have the finesse of a bicycle brake that has the normal rubber grippers against the side of the wheel rim. I hope this information helps.

The brakes on nine were too tight. I think there is a way to adjust them underneath. I have never tried though.

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.

Yes. The brake can be set by pushing the brake handles down until they click and brakes are in force until brake handles are moved up.

Yes it has brakes. We just use it between the car and long hallways to doctor appointments. Meant to be pushed by someone.

There are 2 ways to lock and unlock the wheels. You can manually push the brakes down by hand or foot and use the hand brakes. FYI if the hand brakes are engaged after you unlock the the lower part of the brakes it won't fully disengage. Both have to be unlocked to keep the wheel rolling free. The foot pedals can adjust by pushing in the buttons.

Applying progressive pressure will make it slow down, the brakes are a piston above the rear wheels (an upside down bolt) which pushes into the tire, it is not a caliper that grips the wheel rim like on a bike. I think if you used the break in that manner you would have to frequently adjust the break with the rollator's included wrench and may eventually need to replace the wheel, I'm not sure that would be the case. I can say that after using it for many months now, I could not be more satisfied.

Yes that's how they are set up. The brake lines come pre filled and ready to go so the left brake handle has a shorter brakeline because it only has to travel a short distance to front disc. Great brakes for the price by the way. Easy to tune and hold tight to disc. If been riding mine for 6 months without issues
