Myself I learned on a cassette, I've never ridden a coaster on any of my personal bikes.
Asking for another user – beginner rider… I'm wondering if a freecoaster will be too much to handle. My instinct says go cassette, but not entirely sure
Thanks

If you know how to fakie on a cassette you can for sure handle a freecoaster. I road cassette for years and have been on a freecoaster since and loved it
You can get a planetary hub from Aliennation, BSD, and colony. No slack and less weight. I have colony and I have an engagement problem from time to time, but that’s not a big deal for me.
i prefer cassette simply because i feel like i have so much more control over my bike, i think your friend would appreciate that
I’m a cassette rider right now but plan on switching, i rate you can ride freecoaster easy just takes a few minutes to adjust to no back pedal. If you have any friends with a freecoaster on their bike try there’s and see if you like it
Back in 2012 frecoasters were not a thing like nowadays.
everyone wanted to have the loudest cassete as possible
like the colony wasp the primo remix
and they would usually take all the grease out of it to make sure it was as loud as possible
Neither, freewheel. You’ll get used to whatever you decide if you put in the time.
