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 :)

What are the main differences between a BMX freecoaster and a cassette hub, and which one would be more suitable for my riding style?

The main difference between a BMX freecoaster and a cassette hub is how they engage when pedaling backward. A freecoaster allows you to pedal backward without the cranks moving, while a cassette hub engages immediately when you pedal backward. If you prefer doing tricks that involve pedaling backward or fakie tricks, a freecoaster would be more suitable for your riding style. If you prefer a more immediate engagement when pedaling backward, a cassette hub would be a better choice.


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

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

Why does my bike chain fall off when I pedal backwards?

What is a freecoaster hub and how does it differ from a traditional cassette hub in terms of functionality and design?

A freecoaster hub is a type of bicycle hub that allows the rider to coast without pedaling backward. It differs from a traditional cassette hub in that it has a clutch mechanism that disengages the hub when coasting, eliminating the need to pedal backward to engage the hub. This design feature allows for smoother and more controlled riding, especially during tricks and maneuvers.


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.
