One thing that you didn't mention - and it surprises the heck out of me that nobody else seems to have mentioned it either - is how damn awkward it is to actually get on and start pedalling a bike with a coaster brake. I've had calliper brakes, front and rear, all my life until recently when I replaced the rear wheel for a better hub gear set-up. The new wheel came fitted with a coaster. I must say, I never realised that I had always back-pedalled slightly when stepping onto the non-drive-side pedal to then swing my other leg over the saddle. I've had to completely relearn this basic skill and it has taken me weeks. Also, when coming to a stop, I find I now always have to try to anticipate the final resting position of the pedals for the take-off at a junction. Something I never had to do before. Very, very awkward. I also would echo a comment from below, that hitting an obstacle or coming down off a kerb quickly can cause you to inadvertently backpedal slightly and ANY inadvertent back-pedalling instantly locks-up the wheel which is mildly terrifying when you're not expecting it. The biggest downside is the mounting and dismounting, but there is also a seriously limited amount of brake modulation available with coasters. It most definitely needs to be paired with a good front brake that is strong, progressive, and can actually bring you to a dead stop on its own.
I'm so glad this video's exists as it makes me feel better than I have crashed these kind of bikes twice once in Amsterdam and once last night in Wilmington NC 🤣 I am so used to the hand brakes that my back pedal doesn't action kick in soon enough and I just panic and crash into stuff, last night I got a new cruiser and got excited buzzing about UNCW campus and then crashed into a big step that I didn't see in the dark. I'm going to take it out and ride slow until I stop looking for the hand brake 😂
I hadn’t ridden with a coaster brake since I was about 12. I got my first 3-speed coaster brake bike last year and was starting to get used to it. Riding my Around the Block, proceeding cautiously, avoiding hills as much as possible. Slow and steady.
No gear mechanism! No brake cables! Nothing to go wrong. I love them. I rode 1000 miles in four months this year, up and down steep hills and on gravel. I have no trouble stopping and can skid the rear wheel any time. Always coast with the pedals in the fore-and aft position. When you come to a stop, you have to get off the saddle and put your foot on the forward pedal to get going again. Once you learn that you can be comfortable anywhere. Don't ride down any long hills though, or your rear hub will be smoking hot. Stripping and re-greasing it is a messy but simple job.
My major problem with a coaster break is the fact that I *need* to step up from the left side, I can't get going if I have to start from the right. So I always have to pro-actively think "Am I going to have to brake here? Are my pedals in the right position for me to start braking? Will my pedals be in a good position to start once I've stopped?"
To me, a coaster brake is the bicycle version of the foot brake on a motorcycle the way it’s similarly operated. And I’ve ridden all sorts of bikes with different types of brakes from coaster to full on hydraulic discs and as you mentioned they have their own purpose and differences in performance
I now ride a Klunker with the Sturmey Archer S1C hub. After riding a fairly good hub: Shimano CB-E110, this S1C hub's brake bites hard! Really like it at this point.
Hi! I’ve just got a cruiser bike with coaster brakes, I still have to try them, but I’d feel safer with hand brakes too, do you know if it’s possible to install them? Thanks for your video! It was so helpful!
Yes it is possible. Please look for a local bike shop near you, they will most certainly have adapter kits that include all the necessary part to install a brake on your bike.
After riding a bike with coaster brake for 1 week. I have had some experience to share. I only apply the brake with my left leg, the leg I use to land on the ground first when I stop the bike. Not sure if I have acquired the correct technique. But if I apply brake with my right leg to stop the bike. I find I can't land on the ground.
Thanks for sharing. That is interesting, and may be a very helpful tip for others. I also find it easier to stop and put my left leg down first but it is comfortable for me to push back on the coaster brake with either foot. Anyone else have thoughts?
sixthreezero Bicycle Company I can't figure out yet how to put the left leg down to the ground while the right foot is at 7-11 o' clock position on the pedal pushing back on the brake. If I put the body weight on the right pedal before putting my left leg down, will the chain be able to sustain the weight? I have accidentally tried twice, with very embarrassing results.
Thanks for this. I have not ridden for a long time and someone has offered me the loan of a bike with a coaster brake - never had one before but these are very common here in Sweden. It sounds like a bad idea even to try.
The first bike I rode as a kid used a coaster brake. I was going down a hill when the bike dropped the chain. This was one scary event. After that I made sure the chain was at the right tension, and I used a front hand brake on the front wheel. I loaned a friend $50. He partially restored a made in China Schwinn he could not sell. I wanted that bike. I told him to keep the $50 and I wanted that bike. I bought a new back wheel, replaced the chain, and put a hand brake on the front wheel. It has taken me a little while to re learn the use of the coaster brake.
So, as I understand it, a coaster brake is like the bike brake that I learned to ride on. I pedal backwards to jam o the brakes. That how we would lay rubber on the road. That was so much fun.
I ride a very heavy custom cruiser and wanna say, that there are some situations when coaster brake doesn't work at all! For example when the pedals are in up and down position. It means that in emergency situation you don't have a brake to stop you. It reduces the speed but after you should use your feet :) Now I'm thinking about to instal a front hub with a drum brake, that should be more effective on the cruiser or chopper. I'm definately sure that a coaster brake is good for a very slow ride and a clean line of your bike, but you should remember that I will not have an emergency stop in 90% of cases!
Valid points, I definitely think it is important to choose a braking system that is right for the type of riding someone will be doing. Let me know how the drum brake works out, those are really clean looking and will work great.
That happened to me today. Bailed off into an embankment. I live by the beach in SoCal. Beach cruiser for the beach only! 7 speeds are much safer in my opinion.
Thank you for this, I recently got a schwinn slik chik cruiser bike and I wasn't sure why it didn't have brakes. I didn't know coaster brakes were a thing because I wasn't really into bikes before. This is very helpful, thank you.
My first bicycle had a mechanical linkage from the handlebar lever to the front wheel caliper brakes. The linkage was very powerful. It also had a coaster brake. Once, using the front brake, the bicycle tipped forward and I flipped over the handlebars. At that age I was not badly hurt, with luck too, but now at 75 years I would probably break something.This has not happened to me with cable linkages but since then I have always applied front brakes very cautiously. Is this necessary? I now have a coaster brake model with balloon tires that is very safe with respect to road edge potholes and catch basins and not getting stuck in streetcar tracks. (This once put me over the handlebars, but standing, very lucky not hurt.) I have ridden it for several years but only recently realized that one should practice using the coaster brake a lot more than I have done so far, to be ready to react automatically as well as possible for any pedal position if a quick stop is needed. Do you have any suggestions on this? One of the commenters suggested coasting with pedals fore and aft, which I will adopt. Others mentioned being ready to get going again after a stop. Yes! Not being able to freely back pedal often finds me in awkward situations due to lack of forethought. Can count for something in traffic. The comment about the brake overheating on long hills is very helpful, because I try not to get going very fast. I will use the front caliper as much as possible for that. This possibly excessive caution about speed going down steep hills is left over from once or twice a cable breaking. Never both at the same time though. In another video I learned that the chain may break or jump off the sprockets, leaving one with no coaster brake. So it is nice to have the duplex in case one or the other coaster or caliper fails. Thanks for your talk.
@@sixthreezero It took me a long time to realize this detail. Now all I have to do is practice, practice, practice in a parking lot until it is subconscious.
Great video , is it complicated or recommended to add a hand brake to my coaster brake bike. I was thinking of adding a front hand brake so I would feel a tad more comfortable having both the back coaster brake and the additional front hand brake. ?
Even though I mainly ride mountain bikes these days, I love coaster brakes and would trust them over hand brakes always. I’m planing on building a single speed/coaster brake mountain bike (it will still have a front hand brake though)
what about coaster brakes on a trike? I'm looking into possibly getting one because I cannot balance on a two-wheel bike at all, and I'm pushing thirty
The idea is the same. You'll just need to ease into stopping more because the trikes are a little heavier so they'll need more distance to stop. Also, be careful on downhills on a Trike with a coaster brake because the bike is so heavy. I'd recommend a hand brake for a trike if you are going to be doing any sort of hills. If flat land riding you'll be ok with coaster brake on a Trike. Cehck our Sun Bicycles, they have some good Trikes.
If the 3 speed comes with a coaster brake it won't be possible to get rid of the coaster brake. The 3sp hub is generally integrated with the coaster brake, so if you want the 3 speed gear system, you also get the braking system that comes with it. You could add handbrakes to that model though.
I changed a 15 speed to a one speed by shortening the chain and ,now wish I had just gotten a coaster brake back wheel, did I mess up, as i still have front brakes, so help me?
The coaster brake can block the back wheel at any time, which means it has enough stopping power. The real problem with them is, that they tend to overheat, when you constantly use them, without giving them time to cool down. So as long as it is just a hill from time to time, or easy stop and go in the city, you're fine.
Tip number 1 -- Coast with your pedals in the horizontal position. Because you cannot apply the coaster brake in the vertical position. Make sure your kid understands this.
Coaster breaks don't have breaking power? When I was a kid and they were popular and had a coaster break it would just lock the entire back tire lol. I found handbreaks don't work as good but you gotta be careful on coaster breaks because you're gonna do skids if you break. Oh, yeah if you lose your chain with coaster breaks then be prepared to not be able to stop.
The main issue for me is that when I break the bike gear also changes. This means I'm constantly in the wrong gear. I'm wondering if you have any advice on how to prevent this?
Why reccomend to buy a new bike if you want to bomb down hills? Just add a front brake to your coaster brake bike. Rear coaster is extremely strong, it just overheats. Add a front caliper on the right side and it will have the brakes on the same location as your motorcycle. Right lever = front brake, right foot = rear brake.
I was going way too fast today on my new bike and I wasn’t used to the coaster brake so I hit off of a curb, into a sign, and ripped into my knee. Yikes.
I recently purchased a CCM weekender and I having some issues with the Coaster brake specially to restart after a brake ,the wheel is lock and I have to lift the back wheel to unlock it , there is any trick to unlock it? It is dangerous cause this happened on a traffic light and the wheel just didnt spin
I don’t know how y’all think coaster brakes don’t stop as well, I’ve had those and the ones that just rub the rim when you squeeze them, those just loosen too quick but the coaster doesn’t. I prefer coaster unless I’m on a hill, because I don’t want the pedals to keep spinning.
There is no point in companys installing coaster brakes on gear'd bikes because the coaster brake cant take those kinds of speeds. Mybe on a 3 gear bike its fine but on 6+ NOPE. I got a 3 gear with one so Im gonna swap the rear coaster brake for just a normal free wheel.

do coaster brakes free spin or is it like a childs bike if the bikes moving so are the pedals
I've been using a coastal brake fixie for 3-4 years. And it's awesome. I feel that it's feels more safe than hand brakes.
Awesome, thanks for the input!
