Can one person coast without pedaling when the other is pedaling? Can the captain pedal while the stoker is resting or will the stoker's crank automatically turn when the captain is pedaling?

The pedals have to move (or rest) together, they are directly connected by the chain.

No, that us not my experience. I go back and forth from pedaling to using the power. It is easy and so nice. It pedals just like a regular bike .

No. The handle bars are directly connected to the pedal motion. You don't have to use the handles though, you can just pedal and be hands free but your handle bars will be moving.

It is free wheel. No need to pedal while coasting. To brake, reverse pedal.

No. There is not pedals. They have to move it with their feet or u push it!

Yes. If the child is not pedaling, the bike still moves along. It definitely helps with give some momentum when they pedal but the bike moves along if they get tired.

Yes you can cruise, and you can flip the back wheel to the fixed gear that won't allow you to cruise, but out the box you can cruise

Yes and no. You can if the bike is firmly secure and doesn't "pivot." But if the bike "pivots" or leans to the inside then the pedal will hit. All in all, I would answer that Yes you can pedal it fine. I will be honest. I bought this rack for general repairs and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend it for general maintenance and cleaning. The only addition I made was buying the Park handlebar stabilizer. That comes in super handy to hold the handlebars in place.

yes- they can coast or go their own speed. not sure without going down to measure- ask company- but it does fold for shorter cars. 7 gears- so like a beach bike. It is good for the cost- but this company is not pleasant to work with- we had a seat post issue..... and thank goodness Amazon was on our side!!! document every conversation!

Did I say this? I don't know about two person installation on a snorkel. I do know that I would not have been able to learn the breaststroke without it. My breathing on the stroke without the snorkel came after I figured out the stroke timing and was doing the kick correctly. I still use it occasionally to work on my kick. Great product!

I assume you actually mean between the cranks and flywheel since all pedals spin freely. The answer is no, it does not "freewheel." That's how all spin bikes work and that's what makes them different from an old-school "exercise" bike. It's a direct connection from the crank sprocket to the flywheel via the chain and there is no freewheel on the flywheel &#128522;

If you are asking if it coasts freely when the battery is dead, the answer would be no. It is not free wheeling. You can kick and go if you like, but there is drag from the turning of the motor..

I don't think you could. They can still turn the handlebars, and there's a little give in the steering, so it would be hard to do two at once. Every so often my son pulls the handlebars and goes veering off while I'm pushing him (usually into my husband).

Unfortunately not you'll need your front brake as your main way of stopping coast is the free spinning hub side so back pressure will just turn your pedals backwards freely and not engage the gear

it is silent when it is not coasting. When coasting, it makes a significant clicking sound, similar to most other freewheels.

There is a sensor, the magnetic ring attaches to the pedal crank and the pick up ring attaches to the pedal hub. It does require removing one of the pedal cranks which does require a special tool. I bought that tool at a local bike shop for $12. When everything is working the pedal assist can tell when your pedaling and it uses the motor to assist, making pedaling easier. It's a weird feeling at first, it feels like the bike is pulling away from you, but I got used to it quickly. The motor will stop pulling as soon as you touch either of the included brakes. You can use the pedal assist instead of the throttle but I prefer the thumb throttle. That's just my opinion though.
