can you take out the back brakes

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.

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

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.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. The rear wheels have a brake installed. It is operated by a hand lever that is on the right grip of the handlebar. IT DOES LOCK. To lock the brake, you apply the hand lever and, at the same time push the locking pin in and the lever locks. To unlock, simply squeeze the hand lever again and the spring loaded pin releases and the brake disengages.

There's a small cutout section on one of the corners. Pry on that cutout and the back will come off with some pressure. Don't worry, you won't break it.

Yes, you have to turn the knob on the trainer that is mounted to the back wheel so it does require getting off the bike.

I'm not sure if it can be modded to do that, but on its own out of the box, no. The only way to stop is using the front brake.

Correct. To brake the rear wheel, you stand on one foot and press your other foot on top of the little fender/bumper to slow the wheel. You can brake front and back at the same time. Back break takes a bit of balance and practice, hope that helps... Awesome scooters.

Thank you for contacting us. The hard drive from the item you are inquiring about can be removed from the rear panel.

No. Hand brakes only. And it was not easy to assemble. I ended up taking it to a bike shop so plan ahead instead of trying to put together on Christmas Eve.

Legally...no! If you check the web, they demonstrate how to bypass the parking brake sensor so you can operate it while driving.

Your front and rear brakes are different sizes. You will need one pair that fits the fronts and a different pair for the rears.

Yes, the backrest can be removed. It is the last thing that is put on when it is being assembled, so if you aren't going to be sitting on the walker, it can be removed.

You can drop the back and do decline situps. It is bolted to the fram so not easily removed

Strange question for a 2006 Vibe because back wheels are equipped with drums. Maybe later model have 4 disks brake.

No, you will have to remove hardware in your wheel wheels and behind the grille to switch out the parts however.

No. It is the front, left brake. You would also need to purchase a rear, right brake, if you want a full set of both brakes.

Either, but you would need to take off the drive gears from your old wheels to use them on the rear, or buy the drive gears also.
