Does this bike have a coaster brake or just hand brakes?

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.

We have this bike at a vacation home, so only used it for a week last summer. My recollection is only hand breaks. Also worth noting that the assembly instructions were absolutely useless and some of the pre-assembled parts were installed incorrectly. I ended up having to take it to the bike repair store to get it assembled. In fairness to Amazon, they reimbursed that expense with no questions ask - love you Amazon. Hope this helps.

Just hand brakes, but my 7 year old grandson has no problem at all using the brakes. It's a fantastic bike, very well made and the price is great.. Sports authority has same bike for. $220.

It only has hand controls for both front and rear brakes: pedals free spin backwards. It does come with a kickstand. My big 5 year old loves it and rides it all over our acreage and it should last a few years. Great value!

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

Yes it does have coaster brakes in the rear hub. They work well for my wife and we ride a lot.

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

It has both, a coaster break(back peddling break) and a hand break for the front wheel. I hope this helps!

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.

No foot or hand brake . It stops moving when you let your finger off the button . My 2 yr old granddaughter does fine with it

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

You can always remove the coaster brake, but if you do you will need to replace it with hand brakes, and it does not appear that the frame as ready for the hand brake apparatus. Because these bikes are so cheap to begin with, once you start replacing components, you will quickly discover that getting a cheap bike outfitted the way you want runs into more money than if you bought what you wanted at a bike shop to begin with.

It definitely has mechanical, not hydraulic, disk brakes. We just received 2 of these bikes, and I've assembled one of them so far. Full specifications are on DiamondBack's web site: http://www.diamondback.com/bikes-mountain-womens-lux-27-5

Both. If you reverse pedal it brakes and also there is a handlebar brake for the front tire.
