How does it stop it? Does it have brakes?

When they pull up on the handle to spin around it also stops the cart unless they give it gas again. Pretty cool...our Grand daughter loves it !!

No, it doesn't have a brake but you can stop it. Easiest/surefire way to stop (and sometimes easier for kids) is to just put both feet out on the ground "Flintstone" style. Or, you can turn the steering wheel perpendicular to the direction of travel for a skid (hockey style) stop. Or you take your foot off the accelerator and spin to a stop.

It does not chime with a brake. You can buy one separately, which can be adjusted for abruptness. If the slope is gentle enough and the line has the correct slack, you can get it to stop without a brake, but the ride is less exciting.

The peddles brake, too (with the usual pushing-back motion). We've been really pleased with this bike!

There are no brakes......you simply stop peddling. Don't worry about bumping into anything ;)

It has a clip that you can wear that will automatically stop the machine if you fall off. It also stops automatically if you step if for a few seconds.

You can short the leads but that won't stop it completly . it will still turn in high wind but the brake will be applied.

No, there is no brake. It's pretty heavy and sturdy but if a child is trying to pull up on it and putting all of his/her weight on it, the car will probably roll a bit, so it would not be safe.

While it doesn't have a lever or anything that would allow for intermittent braking like a brake pedal, there is something like a hand brake by the wheels that stops the wheels from spinning. I've gone through the woods with this thing, sand on the beach and through cracked pavement. I've found that I'd give up a lot faster than this thing would. When utilizing the brake, the back wheels won't spin at all and the rubber wheels have a good grip as long as they are pumped. Haven't pumped em since I bought it almost a year ago so not an issue.

No it doesn't do that. The one you have is defective and you should stop using it. With the unit I have I just dial in the stopping power that holds my trailer when I apply the brakes at a medium pressure.

It does, and there are little rubber "stops" to keep it from going over backwards.

No but, it's top speed is only 2.5mph and the wheels have resistance when not "in the throttle" so as soon as the throttle is no longer being pushed, it only takes about 6 inches to come to a stop. Unless your child is heading down the side of a mountain, the lack of a brake really won't be an issue.

It does not have an electric brake, takes several seconds to stop. Was not an issue with me.Bob P Colorado Springs CO

no, it stops and starts, a noisy thing if you do not use the included rubber mounts. it requires a special electric plug, which i was not able to find...

Yes, there is a brake. I ride mine with my son on hills all the time- it's great fun (wear a helmet) and the brake works great.

The brakes only brake when you apply pressure to brake mechanism. Just like a bike. Since you are using a leg for powering , it's not really necessary per my experiences with this knee scooter.

It does not have hand brakes, but you brake by pedaling backwards, much like the bike you probably had as a child. It works, but feels a lot slower than hand brakes. If you need to stop suddenly, you'll probably need to jump off the bike.
