This precludes use of a coaster brake for this application.
You need to give us more detail before anyone can address your question. Some photos of the drive train would help.Did the bike come from the factory with the coaster brake hub?
I have a physical condition that inhibits my muscles in my hands. Therefore, I can't use handbrakes.
so, I just modified the bike. Instead, I have a coaster-brake hub. I have attached a picture of me riding. If you can blow it up, you'll see the chain and the coaster-brake hub in the back. The hub is a two-speed Sturmy-archer kickshift coaster-brake. the problem is I don't seem to be getting the right tension on the chain.
Thank you for any suggestions .
