I ride bikes almost every day, as a means to get to work , as leisure, sport,... . I love biking. That's why I was immediately interested in the halfbike. After a couple of days of consideration I took the leap and ordered the halfbike 2, hoping it was as fun as it looked like. A week later there my halfbike was! The same day I was riding it and after about half an hour I was slowly getting the hang of it. From day one I was hooked! I have been riding almost daily cince and I love it! I have but one regret, I whish I had ordered the halfbike 3 instead. I believe the front brake is a lot stronger and will help you to stop a lot easier, especially when driving it in traffic. My advice to potential buyers, go all out and order the halfbike 3,you will not be disappointed! 100% would buy again!

Hello from Germany (Berlin), I love riding my Halfbike to get to work! I found the perfect parkingspot for my Halfbike. For me is riding the Halfbike the perfect sport for me! Why? It’s a fullbody workout! It’s like running, cycling and skiing at the same time. In the past I was a catcher in a Baseballteam and later I ran some Marathons. Running is not good for my knees anymore that’s why I bought a Halfbike. In July I had a stroke and riding the Halfbike helps me a lot to keep me healthy! I also go in a fitness studio with some friends. We love kettlebell and TRX workouts. One of my friends is going along with me riding my Halfbike! Now he loves it, too! :-) Keep on riding your Halfbike! Best regards Holger

Dear Halfbike Team. The bike is awesome. A great driving experience and good training. Greetings from Austria.

halfbike is special, unique. Lots of fun. Feels like at least five screws are not tightened up. But they are ;-) You need to learn riding a bike, sorry halfbike, from scratch. Truly a head turner. A full body fitness tool. I love it.

HB3 is a sport tool which is helping me to train both for running and cycling. I really appreciate that initially I was stimulated by the challenge represented by the famous "learning curve" and now, after one month of intensive use, I'm really having a lot of fun: HB3 is fast, reactive and stable. I don't consider it an alternative to the bike for daily commuting but I use it during my spare time.Whoever tries it, falls in love because it's really funny also to start learning.The production quality is very high especially if you consider that each bike is an artisanal unique piece.

Gran bella invenzione l'halfbike! Amore a primo "video", ma non c'è stato verso di provarla visto che gli Ambassador più vicini erano in Sicilia o a Milano ( se volete provarla a Roma contattatemi). Appena è arrivata, montata nel giro di una mezz'oretta e wow! Dopo dieci minuti di tentativi già riuscivo ad andare e perfino a fare curve non impegnative. Richiede molto fisico e infatti le prime uscite son durate non più di 10 min e al max 2 km. Dopo un mese e mezzo, oggi bel giro in pineta da 13 KM. Molta più fatica della corsa, ma molto più divertente. E una volta che si prende confidenza, è un bello spasso anche con le curve

LOVING my new bluebird blue halfbike 3. I took to it like a duck to water...it does take you a while to get used to this new way of riding but once you get past that month long learning curve it isn't long before it becomes 2nd nature. It feels quite natural after a while and I can't describe how great it feels weaving in and out of people in parks and city squares. The reaction from them is always one of surprise! It's great halfbiking it along the regular roads but it's when you take it to wide open paved spaces like the south bank along the river Thames that it really comes into its own, this was definitely made for City life. Even my partner has now got his own submarine yellow halfbike for himself and is currently halfway through learning how to adapt to this new way of biking. Having a partner in crime makes the whole experience twice as fun!! Definitely invest in one if you can and if you have the patience and perseverance to learn how to ride it then you won't regret making that choice to get one.

As someone who didn't ride bikes growing up, the Halfbike intrigued me for a few reasons. I had skateboarded and tried out longboarding when it became more popular, but I did not like the kind of braking you had to do on even minor descents to keep your speed under control. I then tried one of the more transportation-minded scooters with a built-in brake but I really didn't enjoy scootering. So it was back to the spin bike. The Halfbike looked in some ways more challenging based on my non-cycling background, and yet ultimately much more rewarding. The evolution of the Halfbike 3 with the improved braking system sealed the deal and I snapped one up as soon as I could afford it. It did turn out to be a challenge - somewhat self-inflicted as I only realized the tires were flat several months into the learning curve. As a former skateboarder, it felt familiar to just bail whenever I screwed up a turn or hit the brakes too hard. And I could feel the progression as I had to bail less and less. In all, in about three months, and now with freshly topped off tires, I've gone from barely being able to complete a few pedal strokes to being able to ride continuously for 30 minutes or more (depending on those pesky inclines) and turn fairly smoothly. Now, it is all about building endurance and having fun. Ultimately, I've achieved my short-term goal of getting more exercise and getting outdoors more often, which is a very nice change from my spin bike. Cheers, Halfbike team, and I can't wait to see your product continue to get better and better. Also, I know there are some considerations about an indoor trainer, which would be amazing for halfbikers like me with cold and snowy winters.

This was a great purchase after i got through the learning curve I was elated, it’s a real head turner and brings up conversations. Watching people struggle to ride A couple of feet and helping them get further is a good feeling and then I jump on and show them up Overall it’s fun to ride and it tests your patience

It started with curiosity 2½ year ago when I first saw the Halfbike on the internet. And since then I kept following its development until I bought my own in May this year. Even tough the Halfbike is intended for Urabn transport/riding I've bought it well knowing I live in a small village in the countryside with almost no bike paths and narrow roads. There for I've made it my mission to explore the possibilities and advantages by riding Halfbike in rural district :-) In short - I love it

I can say one - this is an amazing wehicle :) I am active person. I have trained for 9 years. I like run and cycling. The halfbike is great connection of these activities. The first use was difficult and more demanding. But the body got used to it after my first eight kilometers. Nowaday, I commute to work. Everyday I can do 8 kilometers on the streets of the city. Sometimes I do offroad near the river :) I found only one disadvantages. Unfortunatelly, the fender they are too short. The fender in front of halfbike could be longer. Because when I ride after rain or during rain I arrive into drops which are throwed into air by front wheel.

Awesome workout, so much fun to ride. Great build quality, it gets a fair workout from myself and my kids, and the neighbors kids too, and it doesn't miss a beat. I broke my leg really badly 6 years ago. Had to learn to walk again, hurts to much when I run. But on the halfbike I can run & it doesn't hurt my leg or joints. I truly love it, will be getting another one soon , so the kids a I can ride together.. Keep up the good work... Cheers Brad

If fun is at the top of your to do list? Then halfbike should be included to take you there. Wow! What an invention! The halfbike reminds me of flight school. In the sense that I feel free. Free from driving; which includes parking, paying for gas, car maintenance and tickets etc. I’m so happy with my halfbike that I named her Saxi

I bought the halfbike because I didn’t learn how to ride a regular bike. When I got the halfbike and decided to take it for a spin I was freaking out and thought I could never learn how to ride, after going outside everyday and getting better at just going straight, turning I realized I just became obsessed. Not only it’s extremely fun to ride but it’s definitely a work out. I truly recommend it to anyone!

It takes some time to get used to it but once you do, it's a BLAST! It's given me a fun activity to do during quarantine, the only downfall is people constantly stop and ask me what it is! I like using it as a low impact alternative to running. I would and have recommended it, it's a great time!

Love it, it's a lot of fun. After about 30 minutes I was able to go up and down in straight lines, now a couple of weeks later, I'm more proficient, but still learning! It's more of a workout than you think it might be, and I love it all the more for that!

Super blij mee! Helaas door de weersomstandigheden nog niet heel veel kunnen oefenen maar hij heeft in ieder geval een mooi plekje in huis!

broadly speaking, my experience has been wonderful, it is a very interesting exercise instrument, personally, it takes me practically a week to understand the dynamics of exercising in it, I feel that I still need to learn more about halfbike, to get more out of it . I use it practically every day and I like it a lot, I repeat, it is a good instrument of exercise and training, thanks for this innovation that I have really valued a lot, it is worth what has been invested.

After overcoming the learning curve the bike is extremely fun to ride you turn heads while riding
