What types of brakes does this have, i only see 1 handle brake can you brake by reversing the direction of your pedaling?

Yes. The handle operates the front brake and the rear brake is operated by back-pedaling. Great bike!

Handle brake for front wheel, pedal brake for rear wheel. It's a good way to transition; my 7-yr-old got the hang of it immediately.

One hand brake and one foot brake. The other one that is red has 2 hand brakes on the front wheel.

No. Only the two front wheels swivel. The back wheels are where the brakes are applied and they roll back & forward when in motion.

Yes, the bike has pedal brakes and handle breaks. We have been very happy with this bike!

Unfortunately not you'll need your front brake as your main way of stopping coast is the free spinning hub side so back pressure will just turn your pedals backwards freely and not engage the gear

I doubt it. I think that if one did pedal in reverse it would defeat the purpose of the left hand thread on the pedal bolt, and it will keep on loosening.I've had success with it so far. But I'm going to put a bracket or something on the pedals to stop my feet from sliding up.

You can pedal backwards, but not at a set level of intensity. If you pedal backwards, it's as if you are using the bike without it being powered on.

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

Actually, there are brakes on both rear wheels. I thought this was a great alternative to a regular wheelchair. Light. Easy to steer.

Both. If you reverse pedal it brakes and also there is a handlebar brake for the front tire.

Only the hand brakes, I have had used hand brakes for years, they work very well. One control works the front brake, the other the rear brake. We rented bicycles with a cruising bike, I almost was run over because the brakes did not engage quickly enough.

yes two out of 4 wheels have brakes - press with feet to apply - be sure to install the two with breaks on one end of the unit

the standard brakes? i install one and no problems. I think the device can have a lock to choose what side will be turn i mean the device can turn both sides on anytime , left -right and thats a security issue for me. if i want my dog stay only at right or only at left cant do that with the actual design. I would recommend these device anyway, and my bike is a trek with the standard brakes. Not disk brakes.

It has both, a hand and coaster brake. It's a really nice bike, highly recommend.

Yes, the bike has both braking systems. I've found the pedal breaks work better for my daughter (she's 7) as the hand brake seems to need more strength than she can give.

Hi Miriam! Is does have a hand brake on the handle bar? If if you will be using on trails I would highly recommend that you buy one with a swivel front wheel. Let me know if I can answer any more questions.
