If this is the bike at http://www.sebikes.com/bikes/cat/rad-series/big-flyer-29
Then it can’t be done. The frame and fork lacks mount points for disc brake callipers.

If it's that bike... seriously, who makes a bike with only a rear brake? That's possibly the dumbest design decision I've ever seen. Commented Sep 29, 2018 at 21:28

It's for people who want to do barspins and either don't understand braking or can't afford gyro.– ojsCommented Sep 30, 2018 at 7:02

I think it is not unusual for BMX bikes to have only rear brakes or none at all. There seems to be a demand for BMX bikes with large wheels, eg for people who are too large for typical BMX bikes, or those who rather cruise than do tricks. The bike mentioned in the question appears to be such a bike.– gschenkCommented Sep 30, 2018 at 16:36
