has anyone successfully added a front brake to this model ?

We have not, but my son recently received the bike. We like it becaue it does not have all of the gears, and he had really enjoyed riding it. It is very well made. I hope that helped.

I didn't have any problems with the front wheels. Not sure what the problem could be. So sorry you've been having problems with yours.

No problems, just make sure that you follow the brake in procedure in the instructions and everything should be fine.

No, the hub spacing is too wide for any front fork I know of. In addition, rear wheels are dished(biased to one side to accommodate the drivetrain) which would make for some strange and probably dangerous handling.

NO. Not without a custom part that you would have make yourself. I went down this road myself and there was no way to make it work short of fabricating a metal bracket. most bikes will have a place to mount normal break calipers. I dismantled my disc break and added a regular caliper break and it works just fine. (That's about the best you can do) I hope this helps! Great wheel, I highly recommend this electric wheel.

The sole skate doesn't have a front brake but it does have a back one. My son purchased it used on Amazon.

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the upper brakes. I think any front bag would be in the way. If you really use the upper brakes a lot, I'd suggest going to a bike store with your bike and comparing the bags there.

I would say NO , the front wheels are centered and if you moved the rears the brakes would be useless.

I don't know...I can't seem to get that question answered either. I can't get the front jogging wheel or spare parts. If you find out let me know please.

Beats me! I've reattached the front wheels at least six times. My next step will be to junk it. I have a back problem and need the front wheels, otherwise I'd do without them as Osric is doing.

I have not. However, since my review Proform kept working on my bike and finally got it repaired and fully functional. Proform also extended the warranty to cover the down time. The repairman said, "You got an original version which had a few design flaws that once fixed would solve the problem." He appears to have been correct as the bike has worked well over the past 6 months.

No I have not...I did have a problem with the core, it fell out, but Gary at Coffman's fixed me up no questions asked...while the core was out performance was decreased but once the core was back in and some back pressure was restored it began performing well again. All in all very pleased both with the exhaust and with the support.

The two front mats are totally different to accommodate the accelerator/brake pedals. I would say no; that you'd have to have a set specifically made for a right-hand-drive model.

Yes sir it can! Wilwood advises "All drum brake applications require an inline 10 pound residual pressure valve", and then you can also install an adjustable proportioning valve to set the front to rear brake bias.

I would not recommend this bike because of the front brakes. The cable connection is terrible. It keeps coming apart unless you over tighten the brakes and then it drags on the rim. I got very frustrated with it this past summer and haven't touched it since July.

Brakes do not lock. My husband felt the 3 wheels (2 front and 1 back) were better than 2 front 2 back - I don't know any different. The major plus of this model is the 12 inch wheels - they will take you far more places than the 5 inch wheels.

What model bike are you mounting these on? Are you upgrading an existing disk caliper or moving from a rim caliper to disk brakes?
