Not only in their type but aso in he stopping power. Rekola has a normal rim brake or a disc brake in the front and a coaster brake in the back and it brakes very well. | |

However the share bikes you used are probably fitted with cheaper models. See for example Shimano Rollerbrakes for higher quality drum brakes. | |
