What to tell? with my friend we are 106 years old, but thanks to Halfbikes we are getting younger. It's a wonderful experience that makes us happy. Try it too. Iveta + Michal

I was far away from home when the package arrived at home. I really had to wait a full week before having the chance to assemble it. Finally, I was able to do and ride it and boy - what a change. The build quality is incredible. Halfbike 2 was already great but with some weight and under high load hill upwards, the wood made some noise. Now the halfbike 3 is like a Tesla, so incredible silent that you really need the bell to tell everyone you are here. Once you've adapted to the new way of riding you come into the situation to use the break and how well is this working? BREAK! And that's it, incredible system and now you have to adapt your mind here to - instead of breaking ahead, you have to concentrate not to break that hard and have to use your feet to not roll over the handlebar. I was not expecting that the change between two and three could be that big and that the change is in one direction only - the right direction!

Over the weekend I read a Denver Post (Denver, Colorado USA) article about the status of electric scooters in Denver. Besides mentioning the possible adjustments in the laws on how scooters are operated, the article covered the cause of the accidents which occur weekly in the Denver metro area. This spurred me to write: Five reasons a Halfbike is safer than an electric scooter.

Hi Got my HB3 for 10days, ride 3 times only (total ~3hrs?) I am managed to ride it continuously in 3rd gear (its not a long stretch of road, difficult to raise the speed and use 4th gear) for ~25mins, before my feet got very sore and need a rest before I can continue. I have a feeling it is due to the relatively small pedal that force me to use muscle to do the balancing. I am not a very "fit" person but I do running regularly (~50-100km per month). How far can you guys continuously riding your HB before taking a rest?

I love it to drive the new Halfbike 3 and I will show some pictures compared with the Halfbike 2.

I live in Seattle and thinking about buying one.

If you have to pick just one...

I can't find anything on hear about the original half bike, I found one on sale. Is there different sizes, is it hard to find parts for it? Is it much harder to ride since its a vertical handlebar? thank you for your help

Could someone tell me the exact tektro brake calliper model for a Halfbike two please. Cheers Christian

Hi there, I got an early halfbike, where I have to unscrew the handlebar in order to fold it. That is a hassel. I would love to have those levers (2) instead. Any way I can retrofitted my halfbike? Kind regards Frank

Hi everyone. I'm planning to buy one of these lovely halbikes. But don't know yet if I want a 3 or a 2. What make me hesitate is my lack of understanding of the differences between both, mainly in the breaking part. I on the comparison that the HB2 has a rear wheels brake and the HB3 has one on the front wheel. Isn't it more dangerous to brake on the front wheel from high speed ? I'm quite doubtful. Thanks a lot

I have a new camera which is now my second favorite toy (after my Halfbike of course). It is the Insta360 One X and it allows you to take some pretty interesting video which I think would be pretty difficult to do otherwise. Here is a sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7H0UEdtrsA made myself using this camera with a selfie stick.

Lately I've been finding myself using more and more only one hand while riding the halfbike. I think of it like surfing, using my other hand for balancing. This allows me to distribute my weight for sharper turns and is also it's really fun. One downside from this is that you have to use your right hand for steering (may be a problem for lefties) to be able to press the break if needed. If you feel confident enough with your halfbiking give it a try, you won't be disappointed :).

When I saw for the very first time this unique invention I was really surprised and curious. Of course after my first I was: "Wow...OMG...it's very hard, I will never learn to ride it..." Then with every next try I felt more and more stable and confident and now yep, I can say that I can ride a Halfbike. :) It's really awesome how this invention can train every single muscle of your body and brings you so much fun at the same time. It's very cool to see and feel how it can be so much enjoyable and how it brings to you a set of adrenaline, smiles, good training and a lot of amusement. :) Really like it! :)

I have an older, one speed version of the Halfbike. Some time ago I commented in a post on the Halfbike page that I was planning to do a 100k ride. They suggested 2 things, 1: that I post my experience here, and 2: since I was already 63 years old, to complete 63 miles instead of 62.14. A couple of days ago (Wednesday) I attempted my self proposed challenge. Here in south Florida it's very hot already so I began at 2:30 AM so I could beat most of the heat. My wife asked me to stay in the neighborhood until daylight so I circled around my community until about 7:15, then came home to recharge, have breakfast, then continue out into the daylight to complete the remaining distance. The second part was tough, mainly because of the heat. Our morning temps are currently averaging in the high 80's with a feels like temp of high 90's. I had water with me, and during the few stops I made I was able to refill. All in all, I enjoyed it, even stopping occasionally to position my phone against something to get some pictures. Although I felt great during the ride, after returning home, showering and resting, the old quads really got sore and still are today (Friday) but they are healing well and I should be back to normal by the end of the weekend. The company also suggested that I ride one more mile every year to celebrate my birthdays. At this time I won't commit to that : ) but meanwhile I am very much enjoying my Halfbike!

Lake Ontario's water level has gone up dramatically in the past few days. The silver-lining is, photographers are getting very interesting photos. https://i.imgur.com/1VsLcz6.jpg

I had thought of making a video but I would like some suggestions from you to make it interesting...

Took my first ride. It was very cold. Moments after I took this picture an elk crossed the road 200m behind the halfbike. I was too slow with the camera, too bad. :D
