Manny you can switch the coaster brrake hub out for a freewheel and just have the wwheel re-laced. Or suntour makes a part called the unbrake the converts a coasterbrake into a freewheel. Or you could find a trashed walmart bmx and swap the wheel.Hope it helps.

check out the thrift stores. i bought a decent 20" BMX with a freewheel (i wanted the crankset and handlebars) today at a thrift store for $5.99USD. i get lots of parts bikes at those places.
