Its a very nice bike, for exercise mostly Hard to learn to use it, i have just test it 30min and i will do it a couple more hours then it is fit for fight. Easy to take with u Great company who sell them, with packaging and mail conversations

Got it, settled it up and took a ride the very first day. After the first try I was thinking that it’s impossible to handle it. Half hour after, I was already riding my first hundred meters. So the next day I took my wife and together we started to get some practice. People was looking at us, kids trying to ride it also and we were already known in our neighbourhood like Halfbike profis!

After 2 month of riding on Halfbike, I can fully recommend it - it's a great vehicle bringing a lot of fun and workout. Learning curve for me was not that bad but initial surprise that it's something else then standard bike was there. It's so light and small that you can carry it to pubs, restuarants and office. Thank you guys for creating such a toy for a 40 years old kid like me. (my kids love it too)

I'm 43 years old and I'm enjoying the Halfbike like when I was a kid. I'm still learning and is so fun that I wish I could ride everyday but, because of my job, it's not possible. On the other hand it's a great way to work out. The body get use to it with the time but at the beginning I could feel doing a great exercise. That's why each time I try to ride farther. Now everyday I can ride I can't think in another thing until I go around the streets of my city. Thank you for this amazing Halfbike.

I was in love with the mountain bike until I tried a halfbike. If you have a little patience in learning when you control it, it is a unique experience. It is a gym on wheels. You do sports in a fun way and burning calories without endangering your joints. Something very big. Thanks halfbike team.

I simply love it. The Half Bike 2 came very well packed from Europe to the US. Was delivered on time. It took me 1 hour to assemble following the instructions with the video on my phone. I grew up in Paris but now live in the Chicago suburb so I take it for a ride in my neighborhood. My kids are 15 and 12 and use it as well. It took the three of us a few tries on my driveway but we were able to ride the bike within 15-20 minutes. I feel that knowing how to ride skateboard helped us a lot to start gliding with it. It is such a different experience than riding a bike. Now we take the half bike for longer rides (it is more a workout for me than it is for my kids) and we enjoy it a lot. Every ride gets easier. Great invention. I am so happy I bought one.

It’s quite a great experience for me to ride Halfbike.

I received the half bike 3 in early September . Certainly a learning curve. The best sports however do not come easy which is what I actually appreciate. Developing a skill is what life is about. The enjoyment is slowly paying off. I am now balancing and beginning to ride. I am a busy guy so i am only on the bike for around a half hour per week. I can also tell that my core will be more engaged and this will feel like the groovy sport I was hoping for. I love this thing..and I haven't yet raged....

I love this thing. Before it arrived I read and watched as many reviews as I could to see what I was getting into and to try and be prepared for the coming learning curve. I think that helped a lot. I won’t say I took to it instantly but it went a lot better than I expected. I’m a few weeks in and mostly feel comfortable except for encountering some off camber situations. With time, those will be mastered as well. Overall, so glad I bought one and highly recommend the halfbike.

I'm writing in Japanese ;-) Halfbike 3は以前に比べて随分と乗り易くなったと思います。個人差があると思いますが、すぐに乗りこなした人もいるくらいです。逆にHalfbike 2で奮闘して、身体感覚を鍛えるのも楽しそう。いずれにしても、怖がらずにリラックスすれば、軽やかに乗れるはず。フォースを使え！って感じでしょうか。なお、Halfbikeについての記事をクリティカル・サイクリングに書いています。日本語での情報が少ないと思いますので、参考になれば幸いです。ディスカウント・コードも提供しています。 http://criticalcycling.com/?s=halfbike

As a Zumba® Fitness instructor I find the Halfbike a superb workout combination. Riding a Halfbike is a bit strange and not really easy in the beginning but once you get used to it you'll never regret on purchasing one. Halfbike is every cent worth it. It's really - really - really FUN ! So for those who doesn't have one yet. Try the Halfbike. And you'll see :-) Thankful and so glad for this wonderful invention !!!

I love my Half Bike. The last 4 years I have wanted one but not being able to try one first deterred me. When it popped up on Kickstarter I knew it was time to buy. With my first attempt I managed to fall 3 times in 10 minutes, safety gear is essential to start. I did get about 2 turns of the pedals that teased me with how great it would feel when I got it. I did need help putting it together. The videos on learning to ride it were not very helpful. Someone that knows how to ride is faking being a beginner. You mention that having a slight downhill is good to start. Momentum is needed wether from a slight decline or having one foot on the pedal and pushing off with the other foot a few times to get rolling. Someone online had a good video on how to turn. Just start with tilting your head, it is so easy to overcorrect and over think steering at first. It has really helped my posture as well. Being balanced and straight is essential to being able to steer easily. My core is way stronger now. It just feels like fun not exercise. Soon snow will fly and I will have to wait for months to ride again.

Cycling on a Halfbike is a serious full body workout! All major muscles are engaged and you become a mindful about the road and surrounding! I have Halfbike 2.O and just purchased 3.O and I am happy with the communications with the team behind this invention! They are supportive and problem solving. Halfbike isn’t for anyone! It is for a selected few who want to beat aging in style!

I love my Halfbike 3! It's super fun to ride! I was initially a bit worried with the learning curve, as I had been warned that it can take a while to get used to that very special machine, but I was pleasantly surprised that after an hour, I was able to have fun with it. And after a few days, I was at ease with it. I'm probably not a smooth riders like on the gorgeous promotional videos we've seen, but it's really nice to cruise on the Halfbike. It's also pretty funny to see all those faces, those smiles, of the people I came across in the street, wondering what this machine is, or how cool it looked :-) I highly recommend the Halfbike to folks who want to have fun driving something very different!

Wow, since I first watched the video on you tube, I have wanted a halfbike, unfortunately since I newly immigrated to Australia, it was just a pipe dream. Fortunately for me someone here bought one and didn't like it, and I was able to get one for a fraction of a new one and it's in really good shape. Learning to ride has been a challenge and so much fun. I love the way it moves, I love the work out it gives you, I love the shape and design, it's certainly easy on the eyes, but most importantly I love the way it turns peoples head's, in true Australian fashion it's been nicknamed a "halfie"

Start a new ability at 49 is an amazing challenge. Start to use me Halfbike was incredible, It filled me with new energies, and fun. It's been a long time since I had so much fun starting something new. In the other hand, me body receive all the benefits of physical exercises, but I need to use for short periods of time, because it is demanding, and need training. Don´t worry about the learning curve, for me was a couple of test, and only has one minor scrach in me knee. I´m really love me new Halfbike, and it is fabulous.

I haven't had my half bike long, a few weeks, but I love it ! It is great fun, it doesn't take long to ride in a straight line (my advice is watch all the videos you can - they really help) - it's going round corners that takes some time to master - I still am finding myself over doing the corner :) I even have managed to get my teenage daughter on the bike and riding very quickly. I love that I don't need to get changed into any special kit or shoes like I do for my road bike. The half bike is portable and light and very well constructed. I have made a conscious decision that if I need to run out for anything and it is within a few Miles/Kilometres that I will not ride in the car, but take my half bike. I live on the South Coast of the UK and have ridden the local promenades and towns in my area and had lots of looks and even more people stop me and want to know more - even one guy stop me whilst shopping one evening in a local store, asking me questions and asked for try :) I have had an issue as well and regrettably, however the half bike team were supportive and responsiveness and everything was sorted and I was on my way once again. I plan to take my half bike with me anywhere and everywhere (even abroad) and ride every possible place I am able. I would recommend buying one of these super bikes, as along as you keep calm and learn in short sessions you will be fine. If you see my race around the Hampshire, UK area on a half bike and you want a try, just shout and hopefully I will hear you and stop whilst having fun and practicing on my cornering :) Have fun on your half bike !!! And Half Bike Team - thank you for this superb machine - I wish I had purchased one sooner.

Halfibke 3 is the next best thing after Halfbike 2 came to light. It is much more stable, maneuverable and offers a serious joy boost to the riding experience. The front brake makes it even more safer, while the new gears help you climb some pretty steep hills:)

Extraordinary experience. It's just something new in your blueprint - learn it and you'll feel satisfied.
