Usually called a coaster brake. It's built into the rear hub and can't be added later - unless you replace the whole hub.

What are the advantages of using a back pedal brake on a bike compared to other types of braking systems?

The advantages of using a back pedal brake on a bike include simplicity, reliability, and ease of use. Back pedal brakes are low maintenance, provide consistent braking power, and allow for quick and intuitive stopping by simply pedaling backwards.


How do you repair a soft brake pedal on a 1990 silverado after replacing front padsrear shoes and wheel cylinders?

The 'soft' brake pedal is likely a result of air entering the braking hydraulic system when the wheel cylinders were removed and replaced. Basically anytime a brake line is removed it is possible for air to enter the system. You will need to 'bleed' the air out of the braking system by having some other person pump up the brakes and hold pressure on the brake pedal while another person opens the bleed valve on the back side of the wheel cylinder. When the valve is opened fluid (and hopefilly air) will escape through the bleed valve and the pedal will go to the floor. The valve must be closed while the person in the vehicle holds the pedal down. Top off the brake fluid reservoir and proceed to the next wheel and repeat the procedure for all wheels. Ultimately, the system will only contain fluid (and no air) and the pedal will be hard.

What are the key features of an old timey bicycle and how does it differ from modern bicycles?

Old timey bicycles, also known as vintage bicycles, typically have a large front wheel and a smaller back wheel, a curved handlebar, and a simple frame design. They often have a single speed and lack gears or brakes. In contrast, modern bicycles have smaller wheels, multiple gears for varying terrain, advanced braking systems, and a more streamlined frame design for efficiency and comfort.


The back brakes pads calare not going in how can you get them to go in on a 2000 bettle vw?

If you are having trouble with the thickness of the pads, you may have forgotten to press the piston(s) back into the caliper. You'll need a piston press tool to do this correctly. Do this slowly as not to aerate the fluid in the lines. This will cause a spongy brake pedal and will likely compromise the performance of the braking system.


How does the e-bike regenerative braking system work to improve energy efficiency and battery life?

The e-bike regenerative braking system works by converting the kinetic energy generated during braking into electrical energy, which is then stored back into the battery. This helps improve energy efficiency by reducing the amount of energy lost during braking and also helps extend the battery life by recharging it while riding.


How does the ebike regenerative braking system work to improve energy efficiency and extend battery life?

The ebike regenerative braking system works by converting the kinetic energy generated when braking into electrical energy, which is then stored back into the battery. This process helps improve energy efficiency by reducing the amount of energy lost during braking and extends the battery life by replenishing some of the energy used while riding.


Abs indicator light came on your dodge van 3500 mechanic replaced rear brakes and oil seals light went out had good pedal 20 miles light back on brakes work but soft pedal?

Soft pedal indicates air in system. Bleed the system of all air.


Do trailer brakes automatically lock when the air lines have been disconnected?

Air pressure within the air braking system of a tractor-trailer (or large truck) is what prevents the brakes from being applied. The pressure of the air pushes back a large spring at each wheel. The large spring will apply the brakes when there is no pressure in the system. When the driver steps on the brake pedal, air is released out of the system and the brakes are applied. When the driver's foot comes off the brake pedal, air is quickly pumped back into the system and the brakes are released. Disconnecting the air line has the same effect on the trailer's brakes. Air is released from the system, and the brakes are applied. It is not the brakes themselves that lock. Application of the brakes causes the wheels to lock.


Why would the rear brakes of a 1996 Chevy Corsica engage very hard with the slightest touch of the brake pedal?

The rear brakes are called a dual servo brake system... it uses one shoe to activate the other in a braking situation. When the rear brakes are over adjusted the slightest touch of the brake pedal will cause them to engage. what is actually happening is your rear brakes are engaging before the fronts even get close. You need to either back off the adjusters yourself if you know how or take it to a garage and have them back them off.


What are the benefits of using reclining bicycles compared to traditional upright bicycles?

Reclining bicycles offer benefits such as improved comfort, reduced strain on the back and neck, better aerodynamics, and potentially increased speed compared to traditional upright bicycles.
