How do you brake with this bike? I see no hand brakes. Is the 3-speed different?

I have single speed bike and you brake with pedal. Its so muc better than hand brakes.

I do not know what the frame is made of, but it is a Cruizer bike so there are no speeds. I suppose you would say there is only one speed. The brakes are the type where you push the pedal backwards to stop.

1) Make sure the back rim is out of round. I thought that at first then realized it was an optical illusion with the back tire.2) If the rim is out of round contact the manufacturer and discuss this with them. They will send out a new rim.3) The brake is identical to bicycle hand brakes. Google bike hand brake adjustments or loosen the cable a little going to the brake mechanism itself. This will take a few hand tools like Allen Wrenches and pliers. Also, make sure one brake pad is not sticking out closer to the rim than the other one.

It only has hand brakes for the front and rear wheels. It doesn't have coaster brakes.

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.

Sorry, I don't have disc brakes on my bike. I was under the impression that there were different models for bikes with disc brakes, but you would have to look at the Ibera website to doublecheck.

no this bike is hand brakes only. So far this bike is a good one. Our boys, 4 of them(9, 8, 7, & 6) our big bike riders and this is the 3rd one this size. It seems as good and maybe a little better than the others. It's a good bike for the money.

Yes. Your daughter will just need to pedal backward a small bit to stop the bike. It does not have hand brakes, but the wheel brakes are easier to manage for a young child.

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. One hand brake on the front tire only and a cruiser (pedal backwards) brake.

it is single speed and single brake. You should get a second Yes, only one speed. And only one hand brake. You should by one for the front as well, which is fairly easy to install e.g. the Pyramid - Mx1000 Alloy BMX Bicycle Brake, Front or Rear, Black

This bike actually has both options on the rear wheel. It is set up for single speed, which means the peddles don't move when you stop peddling. If you want fixed gear just turn the wheel around

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,

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.

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.

The hand brakes do not lock. They are also not very good. You will need to use your good foot/leg on an incline, either way, to stop your momentum. Also, the 'seat' is very hard and uncomfortable with the split and required significant cushioning. My husband had to fix squeaky wheels numerous times as well.

Yes, the bike has both braking systems. I've found the pedal breaks work better for my daughter (she's 7) as the hand brake seems to need more strength than she can give.
