Doe this give the bike coaster brakes? Does it stop when you pedal backwards?

no it does not. secondly a wheel has to be spoked differently for a coaster brake because the force is in the opposite direction of accelerating.

Yes, it does have brakes; however, I am 5'2 and the bike is a little tall for me. I use the brakes to slow down, but have to jump down pretty quickly in order to actually stop. It is a great bike but not really made for short people.

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

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

Whatever brake you have that stops your bike will work. Linear pull , disc, coaster, etc. The pet trailer does not have integrated brakes.

Does it have coaster foot brakes as well - there a couple conflicting answers.

You can pedal backwards, but not at a set level of intensity. If you pedal backwards, it's as if you are using the bike without it being powered on.

They pedal back like a coaster break, very easily actually. Keep that in mind however when you are pushing them with the handle, we've had a couple gut checks because of the break! I also saw your comment about not getting a response from the manufacturer, we were having an issue with the pedals engaging and they responded within 24 hours. It's a great bike, well worth the investment.

Unfortunately not you'll need your front brake as your main way of stopping coast is the free spinning hub side so back pressure will just turn your pedals backwards freely and not engage the gear

yes, prress stop then hold down the wheel right side or left. if you press the wheel in play, it wiil slow forward or reverse.

No the resistance and monitor do not work when pedaling backwards. You can still pedal backwards but with no resistance possible.

No it will brake the manual says. I tried and it makes horrid noises. I am sure it would brake.

Can pedal backwards but bike doesn't go backwards and yes it does click but it's quiet compared to some I've heard

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

If your childs bike is able to brake, you will feel the drag immediately. It doesn't impact stability or stop you, but it will slow you down, and give you a chance to remind them not to do that. It typically happens to my daughter when she 'looses (her) pedal' and kicks back to get her feet back on.

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,

Because they are inside the rear hub. If you pedal backwards. the brake comes on.
