- tokai 4y agoIts fixed gear. Your brake is to stop pedaling.
- Lukas_Skywalker 4y agoI thought so too, but at 20:55 you can see the rider stop pedalling while still rolling. It seems to contain a freewheel mechanism: https://youtu.be/Yqgn-qlg1X0?t=1255 https://youtu.be/Yqgn-qlg1X0?t=1255
- ctrlaltesc 4y agoIt's a "coaster" hub, very common on cheap single-speed bikes. It allows you to coast without pedalling, and by applying backwards pedal pressure it activates a drum brake. Definitely not enough braking force for this bike weight though.
- pier25 4y agoYeah. Good luck stopping that thing with a bit of speed. Notice that in the video he always pedals super slowly.
