Seems to be branded Mongoose so we won't be getting it in UK. The Mongoose branded Walmart bikes (not really Mongoose as we know it) are US only. Maybe that's a blessing.

You just ride over stuff, you never need to stop.

coaster brake, the freewheel doesn't use pawls but a threaded sleeve which floats on the axle, so pedaling one way (forwards) the sprocket screws out and locks the sprocket to the hub allowing you to pedal, pedaling back pushes it the other way, disengages the sprocket and pushes against some expanding wedges that press on the inside of the hub, the harder you press on the back pedal (it wont back pedal) the harder it brakes.

Imagine the Fatbike nicheistas when Joe Public shouts "Is that from Walmart mate"?
