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 :).
