the coaster brake as the main brake to
stop the bicycle.
WARNING: If you do not
obey the following instructions, injury to
the rider or to others can occur :
• When you ride the bicycle the fi rst
time, test the coaster brake and
practice using it at a low speed
in a large level area that is free of
obstructions.

These models are equipped with a rear ‘coaster’
brake that is operated by rotating the crank
backwards.
FUNCTION:
Operate the coaster brake as follows:
• Push the pedals backward to move the chain
backward
• The chain activates the coaster brake mecha-
nism that is inside the rear wheel hub
• As you push the pedals backward with
increasing force, the braking action of the
coaster brake increases.
