Hey guys. I frickin’ LOVE this crazy thing! I’ve not mastered her yet but I’m getting there - I’m getting better every single time I ride her. Sooooooooo many people stop me to talk about my Halfbike... This thing has changed my life! I just can’t stop smiling! By the way, now would be a really good time for you to ramp up your marketing in England. I’ve used an electric scooter for the past few years to commute to and from the railway station for work but, pretty much every train company in the uk has now forbidden them because of the fire risk because of the batteries - loads of people were using electric scooters and carrying them on the trains until this month. The HalfBike is the perfect solution for people like me. It’s the perfect crossover! I love each and every member of your team for creating this fantastic little thing. Much love, Aydan xxx

10 kg of body weight decrease. no more sleep troubles / snoring / sleep apnea. no more gastroesophageal refluxes. many new trips to the mall picking up new shapely clothings. walking up stairs ability 4-5 floors at a time is feasible and my legs felt strongest in my life. backpain from sit straining during surgery (I'm a surgeon) faded away and did not come back anymore now that my core muscles (front belly, waist, back muscles, shoulders, hips) are much stronger than before. my blood pressure levels are easily controlled and medicines lowered. all these thanks to the halfbike team wonderful creation and they provided supports at times I needed them.

My 3rd week and this time I was able to stay longer on the halfbike without stopping after installing maglock pedals. I prefer this bike than conventional bike because my prosthetic leg can hold longer even if my amputee leg sweats hard. So far, loving it. I still have lots to learn and adapt. But no rush. I have all the time I needed.

The halfbike was the best present I got it in recent years. I have my bike for the past 12 months and I don’t know what was like before it.

This is completely different from anything I have had to do. The mental rewiring that one must perform in order to ride the Halfbike is nothing short of amazing. I recommend the Halfbike for anyone that wants to experience something new to learn, like that first time you learned how to ride your bike without training wheels or the first time you learn how to drive a car.

I love my halfbike, I have just done an 18.8 km ride to the beach and back here in Adelaide. What a workout. I love the way it moves, the way it adjusts to the road, I love the freedom, but best of all I love people's reactions to this unique and beautiful machine

I think the way this demands learning, developing the pathways for balance and skill, the physicality of creating new muscle memory, is incredibly stimulating for your brain. At 61, I think the benefits of making this commitment are innumerable and I already feel like I want to continually find new activities that require this type of learning curve… to keep mind and body flexible. Love it!!! A commitment to time and patience, well worth it.

Nice machine! Funny to do! Good workhard.

I love this thing. I’m still a bit nervous on it, but each time I ride I get a little more confident. I’m 56 years old and have been riding a streetstrider, which I also enjoy. But the half bike is smaller and lighter, which I really like.

Halfbike ist top Frage: Härtere Federn für die hinteren zwei Räder verfügbar? Patschen: Gibt es einen pannensicheren Fahrradschlauch? Hatte einen Patschen. Danke Dieter

Perfect decistion to bought Halfbike. I use 3 time per week.

My Halfbike3 journal: 20240607: Obtain the vehicle and assemble it simply by myself. The price is US$899, purchased online from the Bulgarian halfbike official website. 20240608: The first trial ride was really difficult! It is more strenuous than riding a bicycle or a scooter, and my limbs are weak and trembling after the trial ride. Today's achievement is that I can go straight for about 200 meters, but I still can't turn. I stumbled and stumbled. Finally, I felt exhausted. I folded the halfbike3 and dragged it home. My limbs were weak. I fell asleep soon after sitting at home. Then I tried riding it six more times. 20240706: Last test ride, distance 11.5 kilometers. I still couldn't get used to the front wheel braking, so I jumped out of the halfbike3 several times. I was exhausted, my palms cramped, and I drank 5000CC of water. 20240803: First official ride. The riverside bicycle path is about 15.6 kilometers, starting between Huazhong Bridge and Yongfu Bridge, back and forth the same way. No track map was recorded. Rest time takes up most of the time, each rest lasts about 40 to 60 minutes, and the speed is about 7 kilometers per hour. I had cramps in my left thigh and my fingers, so I had to rest every other day. Other riding records are as follows: 20240811:11.2km 20240817:17.9km 20240824:9.2km 20240825:13.4km 20240831:9.6km 20240901:8.6km 20240825: The first time I rode halfbike3 and fell to the ground and rushed into the flower garden. 20240904: Currently, when riding halfbike3, I only dare to ride in dedicated bicycle lanes. I own 2 bikes and ride them for 7 years. 6 scooters, used for 10 years and this halfbike3 that I ride for only few months. feedback: Disadvantages: The frame is too soft. When starting or riding uphill, it feels inadequate. Part of the force exerted by the foot is absorbed and offset by the frame. Without rear wheel braking, it is impossible to slow down and coast on downhill sections. The front wheel brake should be used to stop the halfbike3. If it is used to slow down, I am worried that the halfbike3 will roll over. However, the rear wheel is too light, so it may not be effective when used to slow down and will only wear the tires. Advantages: No pain in the butt. You don't have to ride too far to get enough exercise in a shorter period of time.

The Halfbike website says that there's a learning curve. No lie detected! It took me a good 20 minutes to be up and able to go relatively straight without having to jump off almost immediately. It's a new way of moving, and the body needs time to adjust! After about 40 minutes total (not the same day -- it's tiring!), I was able to make wide turns pretty reliably. (The key is looking where you want to go. Somehow, your body knows what to do to make it happen. You definitely do NOT want to look down.) I'm not sure I'll ever be comfortable enough to ride my Halfbike around a lot of people or anywhere I might have to make a tight turn, but I like to take it up to the top of a parking garage (empty on weekends) and cruise around there. It's an incredible workout. After 20 minutes, I'm sweaty and breathing hard. There's really no rest if you're moving, because you obviously cannot sit down, and if you stop pedaling, you lose speed, and then you get less stable. So you can rest for a few seconds at a time, but that's it unless you stop. Perfect! It's also easy on the body. I have problematic feet and hips, and there's no strain on them at all. Zero impact, and fun! My 11-year-old nephew was visiting me this past weekend and was drawn to the Halfbike as soon as he saw it. He asked immediately if he could try it. I was a little reluctant, because I know from experience that it's not easy at first, and I was worried he'd hurt himself or get frustrated by the learning curve. LOL, he was up and going steadily in about 2 minutes. After 4 minutes, he was turning comfortably. He LOVED it and wants one now. If you Halfbike folks aren't marketing to kids, you should! His mom loved that my nephew couldn't go as fast on the Halfbike as he could on a regular bike, so she thinks it'll be a safer ride for him (not to mention it's easier to jump off the Halfbike than a regular bike). I don't have any pictures of me on it, but here's one of my nephew. It's too bad I cannot share video, because you would be able to see that he's super-comfortable on it!

Absolutely love my Halfbike. Took a few rides to feel comfortable on it and then the fun began. Amazing how intuitive it feels after a while. The one thing I found awkward was the gear lever’s location as it’s almost in the middle of the handle bar. I moved it (took some prying) over to the right bar inside of the brake lever and it totally improved my enjoyment. V easy to change gears up and down without looking. 20-30 minutes is a great workout and the looks you get from others is priceless

Depuis quelques mois j’utilise ma Halfbike tous les jours, ce qui a guéri mon dos. Je n’ai plus de problèmes lombaires ! En plus, cette nouvelle activité a réveillé des muscles que je n’utilisais plus. Pour finir, ce nouveau jouet est devenu un centre d’attraction pour mes amis et ma famille. C’est une façon de redonner un dynamisme ludique aux événements familiaux !

I cycle nearly every day, often alternating between road and mountain. The first ad I saw for the Halfbike intrigued me as it seemed like an entirely different experience. After hemming and hawing over it for at least a couple months, I finally pulled the trigger and have enjoyed it immensely (even with one major wipeout on my first attempt.) I still haven't done much more than a 5k at one time but it's great for my city's (Salt Lake) biking paths. I now just keep it in the back of my car so I can pull it out when I have time for a short workout.

I purchased the half-bike when I broke my coccyx. It took a few days to master; it may be a 'half bike', but it is not bike-like. It takes time to learn to balance and steer. The process was much easier once I realised that the back wheels steer. Be prepared; it is a workout and a lot of fun. It would be best to have flat roads/paths, though, as I struggled with hills. And you'll get noticed! The best part, though, was taking it on holiday. I dismantled the half-bike, packed it into the car and drove to the south of France.

I was a little bit hesitant at first to order, because off the relatively high price. But never regretted it! This makes working out so much fun! If you are doubting the purchase because of the price, please notice that an average fitness machine also costs a lot of money and so does a fitness membership. Try to find a Halfbike ambassador near you to try one. Customer service is great! If you want more information from real life Halfbike users, please look up the owner group on facebook.

Very hard in the beginning, but now love it.

My halfbike is addictive, I ride about once a week on the weekend on a lovely paved trail. It took about 4 rides of any distance to get confidence but now I'm riding around 12 miles and it really keeps your heart rate up. It's so fun and rewarding to get out on it and go. You get lots of smiles and looks but everyone agrees it's pretty cool looking!

Super divertida. La amo. Simplemente la mejor !!!

I am very impressed with the performance and design of the Halfbike. It rides exceptionally well, particularly on flat surfaces, offering a smooth and enjoyable riding experience. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly one can learn to ride it. The learning curve is much shorter than I expected, and it is a lot of fun to use the Halfbike. The appearance of the Halfbike is also very appealing. I really like the modern, minimalist design, which is always positively noticed. The build quality and materials used are high-quality and durable, giving the Halfbike an elegant yet sturdy look. One suggestion for improvement I would like to make concerns the handlebar grips. I would highly appreciate it if these could be integrated by default. The grips provide additional holding options, which significantly increase comfort, especially on longer rides. They allow for better hand positioning, making it much more comfortable to ride over longer distances. As someone who rides the Halfbike for over 10 km daily, I believe this enhancement would greatly improve the overall experience. In conclusion, I am very satisfied with the Halfbike overall and will gladly recommend it.

Very good exercise outside home. Very good for the abs and the legs.

Great tool for improving skills. First I was thinking about purchasing new normal bike, but this was the best choice. It is very compact, can be hold with one hand. I really like it. I took some time to know how to ride, but know I really enjoy it.

I did a compulsary purchase when I saw the video on Instagram. Then I received the box and fun started. Unfortunately I had an issue with a wheel but customer care has been perfect and solved the problem effortless. I’m very happy and enjoying riding

I have to say that this bike is one of the most versatile bikes I have ever tried. It’s fun and a workout at the same time. It’s so unique and I will never get tired of it. Once you have tried it, you can definitely never go back!!! I just love it.

I was a bit scared by all this "learning curves", but actually it is pretty easy. Also it is surprisingly fast (with a caveat that in Amsterdam everything is flat). I enjoy it very much. A lot of people ask me why I use it, but answer is just for fun.
