Wikipedia
coaster brake
A bicycle brake reduces the speed of a bicycle or prevents it from moving. The three main types are: rim brakes, disc brakes, and drum brakes. Most bicycle brake systems consist of three main components: a mechanism for the rider to apply the brakes, such as brake levers or pedals; a mechanism for transmitting that signal, such as Bowden cables, hydraulic hoses, rods, or the bicycle chain; and the brake mechanism itself, a caliper or drum, to press two or more surfaces together in order to convert, via friction, kinetic energy of the bike and rider into thermal energy to be dissipated.

coaster brake
A coaster brake, also known as a back-pedal brake, is a type of brake system that is typically found on bicycles. It allows the rider to slow down or stop the bike by pedaling backward, rather than using hand-operated brakes. This type of brake is built into the rear hub of the bike's wheel, and it is actuated when the cyclist pedals backward or keeps the pedals stationary. It's commonly used on children's bicycles and beach cruisers due to its simplicity and ease of use.
