Yes you can, however why would you? you can also adjust the slack to make it into a regular hub.

Can you pedal back on a freecoaster?

yes you can the only operating diferences between a freecoaster and a cassette/freewheel is that on a freecoaster you can travel backwards without having to backpedal to accomodate the natural backpedaling a cassette/freewheel does and with freecoasters there is a usually adjustable amount of slack when you pedal before the bike starts to travel forwards :)


How do you stop your pedal getting force backward while in a fakie on a bike?

You can either pedal backwards while riding fakie, or buy a freecoaster hub which doesn't require any sort of pedaling while you ride fakie.


Freecoaster or cassette which is better?

freecoaster


Why does not the cycle travel backwards when you pedal it in the reverse direction?

If the cycle has a fixed wheel with no release ratchet then it will go in reverse when you pedal backwards.


What is the difference between a freecoasterhub and a freewheel hub?

A freewheel will let the wheel roll forward w/o the pedals moving, but will pull on the pedals when the wheel is rolled backwards. A freecoaster hub can be rolled backwards w/o pulling on the pedals.


How do you get your bike to break when you pedal backwards?

you need a special wheel that has a "coaster brake"


What is a fixie bike?

Fixie bike are bikes (usually road bike frames) that have a fixed rear sprocket which allows you to pedal forward like normal, but does not allow you to just coast . If you pedal backwards it goes backwards if you pedal slow it will remain slow. The whole point of a fixie is to eliminate brakes shifters to simplify a road bike.


How do you ride backwards on a bmx bike?

To revert or ride backwards you need to pedal backwards with the chain and the speed of the wheel and then when you get to the right time you can twist around either doing a bronco or fakie or a wheelie around commonly known as a half cab.


Will not freewheel in reverse?

Most bikes don't do that. You need one fitted with a freecoaster hub to get freewheel in reverse.


What is a freecoasting bmx bike?

A free-coaster is a bike, or rather a special type of rear hub, that allows the bike to roll both backwards and forwards w/o the pedals moving. Most bikes can roll forward(=coast) w/o the pedals moving, but with a regular freewheel hub the pedals will begin to spin if you push the bike backwards. A freecoaster OTOH can roll backards w/o the pedals moving as well. Real important if you want to do trick riding that involves going backwards and pretty pointless otherwise.


How do you operate a craftsman automatic transmission lawn tractor?

Release the parking brake and either use the hand lever or the foot pedal. Push the hand lever forward to go forward and back to go back. If a foot lever then forward pedal to go forward then rear pedal to go backwards. You won't be able to have the blades engaged to go backwards unless you use a bypass if it's there. The throttle should be near the steering wheel.


What is a bidirectional hub?

Don't really know what you're asking for here, as that's not a generally acknowledged name. There are freecoaster hubs, which are recognized by that they can be rolled backwards w/o the pedals moving along.
