What’s not to love ❤️ a fun new way to ride ! Great quality of components and amazing design. I am planning to change/extend the hand grips would like to have a wider grip, but that’s just my preference. Not sure how possible but would like to see a Halfbike trail/off-road version in the future perhaps the Halfbike Extreme!

I love riding my Halfbike! It’s definitely a great way to get core exercise and it’s incredibly FUN.

It’s really challenging to learn this halfbike especially as an amputee like me. Your whole body has to work hard to ride this. But I like the challenge, the compactness, the ski turns and what it does to your body. It’s my exercise and fun bike. It’s a new skill to learn. The only one I don’t like is the halfbike is head turner to people.

my reasons for owning a HALFBIKE. the freedom to just get up and go , my half bike is either in the boot of my car or its coming away with me on get away breaks abroad , its light weight portable and always reday to be ridden, the other reason is the exercise side of my HALFBIKE unlike a conventional bike it take more to ride a HALFBIKE as you are stood up to ride it and it use's more of the body muscles to ride , main areas i feel after riding is forearms / arms / shoulders / body core / thighs and calf's cant imagine life now without my HALFBIKE

I am a physically active person who loves running. I had been looking for a stand-up bicycle for a couple of years. The ones I saw online were somewhat cost prohibitive and a little too bulky in size. When I stumbled upon the halfbike, I was intrigued. After seeing the videos, I got excited about the possibility of owning one. I dropped a ‘load’ of hints on my wife that it would be nice to receive one for my birthday. Lo and behold, when my birthday came around, so did the halfbike! The learning curve described on their website was accurate for me. Now I am riding this thing all over town after having owned it for just over a month! It has become a big part of my active lifestyle. I am passionate about this product and want to share the fun experience with others!

I lead a very active lifestyle which includes running. I had been searching for a stand-up bike for some time now. My wife purchased the halfbike for me as a birthday present and I can't express how happy I am with it. I have owned this amazing little bike for about 20 days and it has brought me such joy! The learning curve provided on the halfbikes.com website has been quite accurate for me. But now I am riding this thing all over town! It is the most fun I have had on a bicycle in years and I am so grateful to it's makers for such a magnificent design. The quality is phenominal and the overall experience from sale to my first ride on this vehicle has been outstanding. There have been only two minor issues that I would like to have looked at on my bike. The brakes make and awful squawking sound when applied. Secondly, the washer between the left pedal and it's arm is slightly too large to fit properly. Overall I am very satisfied with my halfbike and have already referred a co-worker who just received his yesterday! Thanks for a job well done halfbike team!! Mark Clarke

Loads of fun, you should not hesitate to buy one (Halfbike 3)! At first, balance is not too difficult, turning is okay if slow and wide, and most time is spent in 1st and second gears, cruising slowly. Immediately I wished I had ordered the lower gearing, because I could not fathom how I would ever possibly ride stably in high (4th) gear. Even in 3rd gear, it seemed incredibly unstable and wobbly. A few weeks later, and way more experienced, I now have excellent balance and control, sharp turns are a breeze, and I barely ever use 1st gear except for climbing hills. Fast cruising in 4th gear is now smooth and stable and fast up to 25mph (40km/h)! Why is it so much fun? For me, riding the Halfbike feels just like my first bmx bike as a kid, where most rides were spent standing out of the seat while pedaling furiously to go faster. Feels like being a kid again!

The halfbike is an intriguing thing as it neither a traditional bike or indeed a stepper or indeed a mono cycle. The more video I watched the more intrigued I became and was super keen to try it. Christmas was coming and do I had a word with Mrs Claus and she sanctioned the spend. To say 2019 was a Christmas like I was 10 would be an understatement. I received it month or so before the 25th December and decided to put it together and then try to resist trying it. That lasted a few days and then I just had to have a go. Only a little bit a few times and then I put it in my study and just kept looking at it. To start with it was super tricky to get going. Scooting it along and leaning over to opposite side to the pedal where your foot is is a good way to get it going. Its as hard to ride as a bike was the first time you ever tried and requires that interesting thing called balance which once you have figured it out is easy peezy but at first its not, just not at all. Some things mostly with an engine just require the go button and you are off but the multi tasking nature of HalfBike initially plays with your head but if you give it due consideration you will be rewarded. Its a thing thats been designed and made by thinkers so you have to think about it and then practice riding it. My chum Steve who races mountain bikes got it immediately and was riding up and down in no time, 10 minutes max. A bike to him is like part of his body and he understands the ebb and flow of the machine. Like anything in life stuff you have to work on a bit makes for the longevity of the experience. Like gybing a windsurf off the wind at full speed and getting round fully planning executing a tight turn on the halfbike is a feeling of joy and elation, I can do it now and it makes me smile more than cornering a conventional bike. I’m still not 100% with it in traffic, on potholed surfaces, or tight paths however its a blast on reasonably smooth surfaces, its super fun and I absolutely love it. Life is short, get one.

At first I was so excited about the Halfbike 3, but when I received it and started to riding with it I thought that maybe it wasn't the smartest purchase. But after few weeks when started to feel comfortable in city traffic I realized that this little three wheeler is an amazing piece of art. The way it feels, the way it turns it's just amazing. I like snowboarding and riding a Halfbike feels like snowboarding, especially when you are zick-zacking it feels like snowboard carving. Also I love the fact that riding a Halfbike is an awesome way to do cardio. I use my Halfbike on everyday occasions like going to work, going to trainings or just cruising through the city.

The halfbike is quite an achievement! The build quality is excellent and riding it is a lot of fun. I started looking at it because I am suffering of low back pains after holding the same position over an extended period on my regular bike. Riding the halfbike is a great workout if you ride it on longer distances and, given the upright position, will not create any pain, just general fatigue. I use it sometimes to commute to work in place of my folding bike (in combination with trains). The size when folded is a bit larger than my folding bike but there is nothing critical. Sharing the road with cars is not an issue but will require more concentration than a regular bike. The front break is efficient but more anticipation is needed. One advantage is that drivers are slowing down because they try to understand what is passing by in front of them :) A nice improvement would be to add more speeds. I took the 15t sprocket, which is nice for flat terrains. Going up hills in a city like Brussels will get you a bit sweaty. But, as always, the more you practice, the easier it gets.

At the beginning it's strange, not exactly as driving normal bike. But after some more tries it's a great fun! There is a special feeling of freedom!

Hello Friends, for lack of time I could not continue trying the learning, the truth is that it is complicated for me but I keep trying, I am very interested and convinced of its benefits. Greetings César César

Hello, I'm not into writing, but I can say that when you drive Halfbike you feel alive. The best investment I've ever made because you get not just an object, but a constant rush of emotions.

I'm using the Halfbike 3 to commute to work about 1 Mike each way across mud, sharp sticks, kerbs, kids, road, pathways and people. Brakes gr8t, tyres no punctures, added a bell. My legs are now toned and my ride home is the 'funnest' part of my day. Smiles all around.

My lower back is feeling pumped and strong! Better than massage and chiropractor

It’s hard to learn, sometimes it’s scary but if you try hard you can do it. So far so good but i Hope one day i can master it

I received my Halfbike 2 as a gift for by birthday to replace the longboard I was using to go to work with. I was really excited in the beginning but lost enthusiasm fast because I didn't master the riding.(the learning curve is pretty accurate). After some time, I gave it another shot and now I am really using it with any given excuse. Going to the store, going places, and even for food delivery. It is great especially that I no longer need to go to the gym for the cardio. It is more than a product. It is something that bonds people who share the ride. Thank you for creating this product!

It's the most beautiful purchase in my life. To fix it was simple.... And to ride it... I made 3 km on my first ride. It took me just 5 minutes to find my balance and programize my algorithm. Thank you very much women and men of halfbike.

I LOVE my Halfbike3! It’s a great workout and so much fun. My friends think it’s. Pretty cool, too. I love how compact it is. Super easy to fold up and load up. And the customer service I have gotten from them when I’ve had questions, and have needed help, has been amazing. If you’re thinking of getting one....do it!! Best purchase I’ve made this year.

Fun and interesting to learn! Reminds me of meditation, must relax, clear your mind and flow!
