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.

There is coaster brake that stops the rear tire when the child pedals backwards.

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

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,

Hi - in my opinion the brakes aren't designed to work like a bicycle lock and slow down. I think the main reason for the brake is to ensure that the rollator is completely stopped so that you can maintain your balance. I suppose if you are walking fast and hit the brakes very carefully it could slow you down gradually, but it doesn not have the finesse of a bicycle brake that has the normal rubber grippers against the side of the wheel rim. I hope this information helps.

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.

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

Sorry, I don't have disc brakes on my bike. I was under the impression that there were different models for bikes with disc brakes, but you would have to look at the Ibera website to doublecheck.

It only has hand controls for both front and rear brakes: pedals free spin backwards. It does come with a kickstand. My big 5 year old loves it and rides it all over our acreage and it should last a few years. Great value!

It has petal brakes but not hand brakes. Basically, you try to petal backwards (reverse petal) for it to brake.

Yes! You can pedal backwards and it's as smooth and quiet as it is when you pedal frontwards. I would not hesitate to get this stationary bike again. The price is great and so is the quality.

Hi Cheryl, it does pedal backwards but there is no resistance when doing so. In other words, the backwards pedalling does not engage like it does when pedalling forward with resistance. If you want a bike that pedals backwards with varying ranges of resistance, this wouldnt be a good fit. I dont where to get the detailed instructions other than calling the manufacturer or checking online for a PDF manual. Good luck and hope this helps!

No. I have never heard of one that does. The actually brakes are what have a spring in them

This bike is equipped with a free wheel meaning if you push back words on the pedals you will not engage any brakes. It will jus spin feely. This bike does have handlebar brakes on front and rear. It does come with a kickstand.

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

Mine pedals backwards also. Were you able to get in contact with customer service to resolve?

It has both. One hand brake on the front tire only and a cruiser (pedal backwards) brake.
