Can this bike be made into a "single speed" instead of a fixie, so it can coast?

Yes, it has a flip flop hub so you can switch it from fixie to single speed and coast to your hearts content.

It's a single speed. It's a fantastic looking bike and has served my son well. This was the first bike he has owned as an adult, and so he needed something straight-forward and dependable. He is very happy with it.

You could, but the front of your bike may set higher than the rear. The fork is for a taller wheel.

You probably could but would still need a pedal wrench - it's mainly a backup for when you're out in the bike but at a push you could assemble a bike I guess! Not ideal though

Single speed which can still coast. The kit, which includes a cog and spacers, fits the length of the freehub just as a full cassette would, but obviously with only one gear instead of many.

No if you have metric tools and take your time you will find it is an easy project. This is a nice bike for the price and Amazon shipped fast.

I have the coaster brake version and the freewheel version on two different bikes. Not sure about the fixie.

Well, seeing as your bike is threadless, if you wanted to do a real conversion, and have a full threadless setup, you'd need new forks, a new headset, and a stem. Those things get very expensive, very fast, and have little benefeit. So stick with one of these, just not this one. :)

yes- they can coast or go their own speed. not sure without going down to measure- ask company- but it does fold for shorter cars. 7 gears- so like a beach bike. It is good for the cost- but this company is not pleasant to work with- we had a seat post issue..... and thank goodness Amazon was on our side!!! document every conversation!

NOt sure, I just have a seven speed beach cruiser, from what other reviewers state it can be done with an inexpensive fitting from a bike shop ?

No I don't think so, I think if you try to do that you will ruin the motor. I was actually disappointed in the bike, it is really ONLY passive motion. There is no resistance to set and if you pedal ahead of the motor with effort on your own part..it shuts down and you have to wait for it to catch up to you. I am going to sell it on ebay as a used bike. It would be great for a stroke victim that wants passive ROM with arms and legs, just not someone who is looking for a workout.

It can indeed. As long as you add a frame to it, and a front and rear sprocket and brakes and the pedals would have to be moved from the front wheel to the frame. I warn you, when this is all done you will cease to have a unicycle and you will then have a bicycle.

Sure. It is a really nice bike. It comes unassembled though so you will have to put it together.Hope this helps!Sandra

Yes u can but if you need or prefer u can buy a support to set under the front wheel and get the bike more flat too.

Yes, contact the manufacturer at www.BikeTowLeash.com for specifics in the included instructions and videos.

I would not recommend that, it would be very awkward to start with and this bike was not built to stand up on. Handle bars would be far too low to be comfortable.You could try it but I think you would not like it.

Yes with a simple modification. Use a mider saw And two 2x4s drill and sandpaper. Sand down the back half of your bike screw in the 2x4s and weld a 2x3 inch plate to the tire. That should do it.
