Six three zero has several models if cruisers with the Shimano Nexus three speed hubs, which also contain a coaster brake. Interestingly, these models also run a front rim brake. I consider that necessary with a coaster brake. The reason is, though I rode with coaster brakes as a kid (I'll be 68 on Monday), my experience as an adult with coaster brakes has been 100% bad with a Huffy Cranbrook, and with two different rear wheels to boot. Hence, having a front rim brake as a backup, and knowing that most braking is done by the front brake anyway, I consider it a good thing. I might add that the Citizen single speed folding bike with rear coaster brake also has a front rim brake.
