Es increíble la Halfbike, trabajas todo el cuerpo , al principio es difícil pero con paciencia y constancia se aprende . Es muy divertida, el único cambio que yo le haría , es que las ruedas de atrás fueran algo más grande. Por el resto es perfecto.

Hi, As a context: * I've live in Lisbon area (a lot of hills), * I'm after 40 with 90 kg weight My daughter is an active 7 years old kid and at some point I wasn't able run as fast as she rides a scooter. HB was designed to be used for short distances (less than 15-20 km). * Learning basic driving on the HB turned out to be child's play; * HB is a lot of fun to drive; * HB It is perfect as a companion for kid on scooter; * HB It is beautifully and minimalistically made; * Riding on HB allows you to get tired / exercise :] As a cons: unlike a bicycle and unicycle, your hands must be on the handlebars, the descents are terrible, you need good quality roads to enjoy the ride. Unexpectedly, I had the opportunity to damage the bearing in the rear wheel. The contact with halfbikes.com was great, they helped, took care of me and my HB. Customer support and service: Great!

What can I say? Riding the halfbike is real fun!!! I like to learn new things, and in the beginning you really have to learn. But the fun and the fitness grow!

My husband got the bike for me as a Christmas gift and I love it! I’m in my mid-fifties and I love a challenge. The halfbike is definitely a challenge until you get the hang of it. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who is adventurous and loves to try new things.

Love my halfbike as well as the process of learning to ride a new kind of bike. Bruce G

We love your bikes! We are trail runners and spin at home. I’ve been looking for something as close to running as possible without all the pounding. We love them! They are perfect! I’ve looked for years finally! It was a learning curve ???? but now we are pros. Or at least getting there. ???????? do you have ambassadors in Arizona? We’d love to help out and or be one if needed. People stop us all the time. ???? Carrie Martin

Thank you for making such a wonderful bicycle! The half bike I bought the other day is doing really well! I have been riding a half bike for over 3 years, and there is no other bike that allows me to experience so much freedom in maneuverability! Please experience the many new sensations that are completely different from ordinary bicycles with saddles! ************************************************** When anyone first rides a half bike, they find it difficult to operate, but as you get used to riding it, you will discover many fun maneuverability features! Each person will experience unique movements depending on their physical ability and body type. I have been riding a half bike almost every day for over 3 years and I still find the maneuvers interesting and complex! It's a free ride where you can feel the possibility of improving even if you ride for years! ************************************************* Instead of just sitting on the bike saddle and pedaling, enjoy half-biking with more freedom and trusting your own senses！

I am István from Hungary. Compact, unique vehicle and excellent sports equipment. Where you live, I've never seen anything like it! It is very sensitive to road conditions, but accidents can be prevented with due care. I went into traffic after 2 months of practice. It took me this long to be able to turn in any direction in a small curve (within 3 meters) and to keep the direction. In 3rd gear, you can travel with it at the speed of a traditional bicycle, but to cover a distance of more than 5 km in one stretch, I would have to train more. I am very satisfied with the tool and the support! Thanks!

I'm an exercise person, full disclosure. I've thought about bikes for a while but never pulled the trigger because it's a big time commitment. With Halfbike, I'm getting a bike workout for a fraction of the time. Plus, it works my core, balance, and arms. I love it. Obviously, wear a helmet (I do, except for this vanity pic). And some tips: With a front wheel brake only, speed downhill isn’t your friend, so don’t be afraid to gently apply the brakes as you’re heading downhill. Pedaling uphill, lean over the handlebars. Lastly, be prepared for everyone’s stares. :) -Gerry Hays, 55, Bloomington, IN

This is a great tool for exercise. Fun to ride as well. A little bit of a learning curve, but I am getting better and more confident with each ride.

Riding a halfbike is a very unique experience and it takes quite a while to get used to. After about a week I started to feel more confident. Even though I bought it primarily as a fitness device I soon realised that it was rather a tool that teaches me to relaxes both my muscles and mind. So it is a great practise in meditation and mindfulness. Plus as soon as you get the hang of it it's also a lot of fun!

My husband and I bought this as a new toy to fill the void of jogging (knees no longer obliging). The learning curve wasn’t as tough as I imagined and admittedly as we ride on a rail trail it is straight lines only. But at the ages of 54 & 61 we are both enjoying our new form of exercise immensely.

Due to a family crisis, I haven't gotten to ride it as much as I would have liked to at this point. But, from the sporadic rides I have taken, I can ride fairly comfortably in a straight line, and am starting to gain a little more confidence in turning. Our 8 year old daughter took to it immediatly and loves it! In fact, her method of balancing on the pedals taught me how to turn it! My husband has tried it, but is a bit scared to ride. If I were building it for myself, ideally I would like the handles a bit higher as I feel like I tend to "hunch" over them rather than standing straight up -- a couple of inches higher and I think it would be more comfortable (and I'm short -- 5'2")...

In October 2023, I received a full prosthesis in my right knee. After 6 weeks, I was able to walk without any problems and then looked for a piece of sports equipment that would train my legs and upper body. That's exactly what I found with the half bike. It's perfect for training my new knee. I can now manage 10km in one go. Who would have thought that in October? I'm absolutely thrilled

Not just for the young but for the young at heart as well.. it is hard at first and it takes some practice but it is so worth it. I’m almost 50 and if I can do it so can you, no more hurt bottoms here.. cool and innovative product.

Bin total glücklich mit meinem Halfbike. Nach ein paar ,,Übungskilometern‘‘ hat man gecheckt wie die Sache funktioniert und macht immer mehr Laune. Für mich ist es eine Mischung aus Fitnessmaschine, Spassgerät und Fortbewegung. Zum See fahren, ne Runde schwimmen und wieder nach Hause…macht einfach nur Spaß und ich bin gut ausgenudelt. So um die 10km sind für mich ok. Das einzige was etwas stört ist eine bestimmte Pedalstellung beim Kurvenfahren, da berührt der Schuh manchmal ein Hinterrad…(Schuhgröße 46). Muss man halt drauf achten. Aber das Halfbike ist so ziemlich genau das was ich mir erhofft habe, ein Ganzkörper-Spassgerät:)!!!

This is my second half bike. I bought the original one when it first came out and then upgraded to the newest model just recently. I love riding my half bike. It is an incredibly good workout and a lot of fun. I am constantly stopped by people who ask about it. It took about a week to get used to riding it when I first got it, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll never want to stop.

Awesome bit of kit - great fitness provider.

Fascinating means of transport, this half bike - and ideal as a warm-up coordination exercise device for my personal trainees. Once you get the hang of it, it feels like running as Superman. The customer service is top: Simply describe the problem in detail, ask a question, and the solution will follow immediately and satisfactorily!

I'm still very new at riding. It's definitely a workout and I'm not a fitness fan. I'm going to keep using it; I'm up to a 1/2 mile with stopping a few times and being outta breath . I definitely like it, it's going to take some time to learn to turn. My arms and legs are sore.
