What kind of brakes does it have? I see that there is a handbrake. Is there also a coaster brake?

The bike has both the standard cruise brake and a hand brake. Our daughter (5) only uses the cruise brakes so we are not sure how good the other one is.

There is coaster brake that stops the rear tire when the child pedals backwards.

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

Does that mean that the bike brakes when you back pedal? Then yes I do believe it does.

Yes, this bike has a rear-wheel coaster brake as well as a front-wheel hand brake.

As others have noted, it is made both ways. I have the freewheel version as offered here, a coaster brake version is also available.

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.

They have the back-pedal brake, or foot brake...I think it is the same as the coaster brake. There are no hand brakes, just the type that slow or stop the bike when they pedal backwards.

It does have a back pedal brake. My son loved this bike. Never saw one as cool as this around our neighborhood. Sold it used for $50 when it was to small for him. I would absolutely recommend this bike.

There isn't a brake, but soon as you let up on the orange power pad, the cart stops. And it doesn't go very fast in the forward gear anyway. I really like my cart!

Yes the wheel chair has locking hand brakes. Just push them down and they lock, lift them to release or apply brakes that release when you release. The chair weighs about 20 pounds.

There are two versions, with and without coaster brake. Pay attention to the text description rather than the photo.

Unfortunately, no coaster brakes on this model. The weight limit is 250 lbs.

Sorry so late in responding. The hand brakes do not lock, they are like handle bar brakes on a bicycle. However, the wheel brakes can be locked so you can go to the front and assist. I do this all the time with my mother. I absolutely love this wheelchair, we get asked all the time where we got it. Hope this helps.

There is a brake on your right hand. But I don't think it is a handbrake. It can be only used to lock the stroller, and it is not for control the speed. But for a stroller, I think it is enough.

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.

From the manual:To Use Hand Brakes (Models 330/332/352)The hand brake is to be used for speed control only.Squeeze up on the hand brake to control the speed.Use the wheelbrake when entering or exiting the chair.Engage the Park BrakePush down on the black ball shaped knob located at the rear of the hand brake handles. The handle will lock into adownward position when properly engaged. Pull upon the hand brakes to release the brakes.

Paul, it has both caliper brakes for the front wheel and coaster brakes for the rear wheels.

I am not sure. But I will say that there are no handbrakes on this, so adding wheels to the back would be really dangerous. With that said, this thing is super light and slides along with little effort as it is.
