How does the Halfbike perform up hill?
Halfbike 3 is best suited to flat ground. However, it can manage going up hills as well. We can tell from experience that the four-speed hub works fine for inclines up to 7-8%, but anything over that would be a struggle.
When ordering a Halfbike 3, you're presented with a choice of three options for gear sprockets, depending on the terrain that you plan to ride regularly. If your daily commute will be on mostly flat terrain and you go with that option, you'll get the 14T setup. When you select a mix of flat ground and gentle slopes, we'll equip your Halfbike with the 15T sprocket. And if the area you'll ride in is mainly hilly, you'll ride with the help of the 17T sprocket; it will make your experience most enjoyable.
