I put two halfbikes in my shopping cart and I answered the questions differently for height, weight, and usage (for myself and my brother) -- but it looked like the exact same thing got added to the cart. Do the questions mean anything or are they just a survey for your information and actually every halfbike is exactly the same?

Hi, I am in Turkey and I am sure I will have to pay customs fees if I buy a halfbike. However, is there any way for me to pay them to you/the shipper in advance so I don't have to pay on receipt? If this is not possible would you at least be able to help me figure out how much I would owe? I went to https://www.eurosender.com/en/customs-clearance and I didn't have enough info about the shipping process to be able to figure it out. I guess I will also get a few accessories but I think I could order them separately so I'm mostly interested in the fees for the halfbike itself.

I need to replace my crankset. Anyone knows the measurement? teeth, how many mm, etc.. is there an alternative to the one that comes with it? (Lasco) Does Halfbike sells it?

Does Halfbike comply with to legal requirements? F.e. StVO (Straßenverkehrsordnung) in Germany?

It has a higher center of gravity because it rides standing up. And since there is a brake on the front wheel, there seems to be a risk of falling forward when suddenly braking on a downhill, but are there any precautions?

Hello fellow halfbikers! I have recently started learning how to ride this machine and I am making some good progress but I am finding that pedals feel too small and narrow. My feet are average size but I am finding that when I just start going and bring my second foot on a pedal it frequently catches the crank arm with the sole of my shoe. Also, my legs get tired really really fast and I believe it is partially because the feet don't have full support. So, I was wondering if anyone tried Elliptigo pedals (https://www.elliptigo.de/en/shop/spare-parts/pedal-set)? Are these too crazy?

What is to stop the rear wheels working themselves loose and falling off also can you tell me the purpose of the question about the terrain weather it has lots of hills is there different gearing options

I just got a halfbike used. It's an M, and depending on when I'm measured I'm 6'2" or 6'3". I'm currently learning to ride it, but the handlebar seems just a bit too short for me to be able to stand up straight while I ride. Does anyone have any experience with this? Is it actually too short for me? Would a L be better?

9/22/18 - The weather is perfect for riding! Even for this mid 60's dude :)

When I ride the half bike or even push it it pulls to the right.I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and how you fix it if you have had the problem.The bike is not ride able the way it pulls to the right you cannot counter steer it.It rode good for about six months till this started.

Are bigger/ Width pedals better? Anyone has tried or suggestion?

Hallo. Ich hab das Problem welche Größe ich wählen soll? Ich bin bin mit 195 cm sehr groß, also eigentlich benötige ich Größe L. Da der Rest meiner Familie jedoch kleiner ist und Größe M eher passen würde, überlege ich jedoch ein M zu kaufen. Hätte ich mit der Größe von 195 cm Probleme das Halfbike Größe M zu fahren oder würde es trotzdem funktionieren? Ist bei den Größenunterschieden nur die senkrechte Lenkstange größer bzw höher? Für eine Antwort wäre ich sehr dankbar! MfG Christian

The fork from the handle bars to the front tire broke. It looks like an easy replacement if I can find the replacement forks (they are made from wood it appears). Can you let me know where I could order those parts? Thanks for any help you can provide. Mike

The Half Bike really looks like a lot of fun and your able to get a lot of exercise. I do ride a road bike and occasionally get a flat tire far away from home and have to make repairs on the road by swapping out the tube with a spare I carry or patching the punctured one. My concern is what do I need for repairs and how easy is it for the Half Bike if I get a flat far away from home?

I was just cleaning my halfbike and noticed the spokes are slightly curved. Is that normal?

Hi, I'm a newbie to halfbike. May I know how to use the gears, please. In what situation should I use gear 1 as opposed to gear 4? Thanks Linda

Hi, may I check with the halfbike team on the easiest non invasive method to remove the factory grips so that we can replace it with longer grip hold with no damage and scratch to the handle bar? Thanks in advance for the detailed removal steps. Cheers.

Hi, whenever I ride my halfbike, I get blisters inside my hands and on the side of my thumbs. Are there any special gloves you can recommend to protect me. The gloves I am using right now, don't do it. Looking forward to your kind help Frank

OK guys, I am still a super beginner, but what shoes are best for training to ride a halfbike?
