I'm looking for some info on a foot lever operated coaster brake, I've seen one here but all day can't find it. Any help would be great.
Foot lever coaster brake?
- Thread starter chainmaker

Both of my coaster brake bikes came with foot operated brakes 
Just kidding, Chain. Did you try the google search? I'll give it a try for you.

Hey Tom
I think I found what I was looking for my photo bucket is full so I need to upgrade but I'll post a pic soon. What I'm trying to figure out is a way to use a coaster brake hub on a sidecar and put a foot lever right by right pedal on side car frame.

I can see that by using a bike chain fixed to the pedal swing arm. Shouldn't be too difficult to design.
I recall one member was working on using a coaster hub on the front with a cable operated pull to spin the sprocket backwards. I think his biggest problem was obtaining enough leverage. The length of your pedal arm would determine your leverage but I'd guess you'd have plenty if the arm was long enough.
Keep us informed. It sounds like an interesting project.
