does this cart have a brake for going down hills?

The cart does not have a brake per se, but the electric motor does provide a slowing effect like when you take your foot off the gas in a car. I have not had any problem with a runaway sensation with my cart.

no braking other than the frictional drag from the gear trains and motors - just a garden cart when not under power.plan to use it like a wheelbarrow when going downhill.

No, it doesn't, but it is a moot point because they are not making it anymore.

No brake; however, the motor will serve as a mechanism to slow the cart down.

There is not a separate brake, however, the cart will stop when the orange "go" lever is released. Additionally, the low speed setting keeps the rotation of the wheels at a consistant slow speed not allowing the cart to accelerate on a hill. I do have some rather steep areas to work and have had no problems. This unit has been the best gardening assistant ever! Easy to assemble, easy to operate, heavy duty.

There isn't a brake, but soon as you let up on the orange power pad, the cart stops. And it doesn't go very fast in the forward gear anyway. I really like my cart!

Yes it does. The trucks are tighter on this board which is great for going down hill at high speeds.

This would not work well on gravel or large hills. You could not go up the hills on it and it would be dangerous going down a large hill because there is not much of a brake on it.

Not sure mine came without brakes but they are needed or you will have to carry a wheel chock set

No it does not have a brake. I either let it finish spinning or hold the handle yo get it to stop. I love my Guzzini salad spinner!

Yes it has a hand brake. Even when my son rides it down hill it never goes out of control fast. My son is special needs so it was perfect for him.

The answer is yes, but I would not buy this product. The plastic fittings broke the first time I used it. I wound up buying another cart and tossed this one in the garbage. I did save the wheels.

The 796 has a single brake, which works on the rear wheels. The single brake works fine. I primarily use it for control on sloped walkways. The basket is a must-have, in my opinion.

I am not sure....I think it did have a hand brake but I could not kneel on it so I just tried and got off sorry I couldn't be more helpful

No the wheels do not lock but the cart sits very low to the ground. So if it is on grass it doesn't move when you are pulling out the hose. I'm sure if it was on a smooth surface, like a driveway, it would slide.

Yes, it has a coaster brake and a rear wheel hand brake. It also has a chain guard which is nice for kids.

No brake in the handle. The back wheels have breaks. This is a great chair! Made our trip possible.

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

Yes, there are flip-down brakes like many other models. You step on them. One for each rear wheel.

Yes on flat surfaces. There is no braking system so hills would be a problem. It basically has roller blade wheels so as long as the surface is concrete or asphalt outside would be fine. Large cracks in the concrete and rocks could pose a small problem.

no- but I have had no problems with it, the bag is heavy and the cart does not roll away on you. however, you may not want to leave it on a hill next to a water hazard :p

Yes it has the pedal style so if you try to peddle backwards it brakes the rear tire.
