      Going by my absolutely correct without proof theory of "it's a fixie", by pedaling slower or skidding.

      EDIT: allthough skidding does require you to put most of your weight on the handlebars which you definitely do not want to be doing here so I'd say it's either pedaling slower or by hitting an obstacle

          Technically possible, but going by the fact that it's a steel frame, narrow front tyres, an unused cantilever stop mounted on the front and the fact that they chose to ride a random stick I'd argue this is a fixie

      Instead of converting momentum into heat via friction of break pads, the bike uses regenerative braking to recharge the rider.
