I don't know about the original roller racer, but the flying turtle does not have brakes.

Hi there - disc and drum brakes are two different styles of brakes with different components but all work together to serve the same purpose. The major difference is that drum brakes are internal whereas disc brakes are external. There are tons of information online that go over the specific differences, but disc brakes are more modern and common place these days. Thanks!

Have not had any problems rolling on any surface. Cannot answer about wheel change

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

Take a look at the IB RA5 that John S. suggested. My Kona does not have disc brakes so this issue was not a consideration.

Yes, there are brakes. The same levers used to operate the wheel lock mechanism are used as brakes. To lock the wheels, the levers are pushed down (away from the handles). To brake, the levers are squeezed toward the handles just as you would operate handbrakes on a bicycle. This is a good machine. No issues with it.

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

I can't answer that specifically but can say that the Black Prince performs well. I had a cheap pair of Chinese carbon wheels and the braking track was literally delaminating with the Black Prince. They replaced the wheel with one with an industry standard basalt braking surface and they have been working fine. They do seem to wear quickly.

This one dose not have the coaster brake . There is a coaster brake version if you want one.

Applying progressive pressure will make it slow down, the brakes are a piston above the rear wheels (an upside down bolt) which pushes into the tire, it is not a caliper that grips the wheel rim like on a bike. I think if you used the break in that manner you would have to frequently adjust the break with the rollator's included wrench and may eventually need to replace the wheel, I'm not sure that would be the case. I can say that after using it for many months now, I could not be more satisfied.

Coaster brakes. I had to buy 2 of these bikes because my 3 and 5 year old fought over it.

No it does not have a brake. I either let it finish spinning or hold the handle yo get it to stop. I love my Guzzini salad spinner!

I know when I bought it I got the new one which did not seem to brake as easily. I would confirm with seller to make sure you get the rilght one.Troy Customer who previously bought this

We bought one in November. The flywheel is fine and it rides ok. The wheels which slide on the back right side make a hissing noise but that's the only negative. The resistance is fantastic as is the the pre-programmed rides. Hope this help. I would buy it again if that helps

Great choices of plane and brakes. Make sure it is not the mineral spec caliper. The SL 6 is low viscosity for ABS, since you don't have ABS, I'm pretty sure you want to use the the straight "SL" version, but just call them to verify: Technical or order support: tel +33 (0) 492 201 619 Fax +33 (0) 492 526 966 e-mail contact@beringer-aero.com
