I just purchased a used Mongoose kid's bike with a BMX style body but a freewheel in the rear. It's only one speed so there is only one sprocket on the rear wheel obviously.
When you pedal the bike for the first time the freewheel does engage and propel the bike forward. However if you coast for a bit it will then take several complete revolutions for the rear sprocket to engage again in order to turn the rear wheel.
Did I buy a lemon or is there an easy way to fix this problem?
Thanks!
