pretty fun to use after you learn how to drive it and its pretty smooth..

I bought this crazy machine with full intentions of riding from home in Manhattan downtown to the marina where I sail from in Battery Park City. The thought of cruising up to the boats on the Halfbike thrilled my sense of adventure and I'd be the talk of the sailing club. It quickly became clear that the 7 mile ride would be too much for my less than stellar thighs and I was kind of disappointed. However, I despise going inside to get a workout. The second reason I opened my wallet for this unknown vehicle to enter my life was that, at the very least, I could use it as an excuse to delay joining a gym. The cost is worth about 3 months of membership so if I used this a few times a week I could smugly walk past Equinox while mumbling something to the effect of, "You'll never get me..." And ... it's worked. I love riding this thing and it's motivated me to get out and exercise a lot more than expected. A lot. My initial rides of 15 minutes and a mile or 2 in the park have turned into hour long expeditions around NYC where I'm panting 90% of the time but can't stop having fun and turning down another street just to extend the ride time. Those not so stellar thighs have become stronger.

The halfbike is a new experience. You need to envision yourself doing it. And you need to commit to it. Once you get it you will feel super. I got used to it after a few attempts but the real ability to enjoy came when I decided to ride it without being afraid to fall.

This bike is sooo fun. I loaded up the van the other day with family and friends and we went to the school parking lot and took turns riding the halfbike. We laughed at each other learning to ride and had a great time.

Why ride hunched over on a road bike, when you can stand tall, rising above your surroundings? In April of 2017, I had been standing for 15 years at my desks at home and work. I had just retired and bought a Halfbike for the challenge, and it looked like fun. The bike arrived in two days, and assembly took a leisurely hour. For my first ride, I just stood on the Halfbike, coasted down a gentle hill for a few hundred meters, then walked back up and did it again. Within 30 minutes, I was pedaling comfortably in a straight line. Within a week, I was at ease with turns and uneven surfaces. Within a month, I routinely rode for two hours on paved paths in a forest preserve. I've since moved to the Raleigh area in North Carolina (USA), and I still love riding my Halfbike. I find myself smiling most of the time, saying "hello" to often startled strangers, who have never seen a Halfbike. I occasionally ride along with bikers and runners who are curious about my Halfbike and have questions. It can be a challenge to learn to ride. The experience reminded me of learning to ride a bicycle as a child. And like that experience, I loved the sense of accomplishment after mastering the Halfbike. For me, the stand-up tricycle was like a combination of a unicycle and a skateboard. The difference between riding a road bike and a Halfbike is the difference between walking and dancing. Riding is a whole-body feeling of flow-motion.

I bought a scooter but never bought a bike before. When I first saw this halfbike, “wow what a cool bike that i dont need to sit on it and i could run like a runner with fun”! Then I bought it right away and only took 4 days to be delivered to my home. I couldn’t wait to try so finally it took me 10 mins to ride straight line. I am still trying to figure out how to turn without fall. This is really fun and very cool bike without taking much space to store at home that is good for small city in HK. Thanks guys for creating such an amazing bike with so much fun!

The best thing i can ever had ! I can't stop using. Every day i get up in 7 and go for a ride with the halfbike. I had never done something before. I love it !

When I ride it for the very first time I was really insecure and scared but then with every next try I felt more and more stable and confident. Now I can say that I can ride a Halfbike and it's really fun. :) It's awesome how this invention can train every single muscle of your body and brings you so much fun at the same time. I really love it and I'm happy to be part of your family! :)

Hello Friends, I am a recent Halfbiker but I am now pretty confident to ride various terrains, including parks, trails, parking lots, schools, shopping centers, church lots, and just street sidewalks. Atlanta is very hilly and has very few open areas but riding in parks and bike trails is great. I usually stop if I hear people say something when I ride past them or if they look interested. I get off the bike and tell them what it is, where I got it, how it rides and how much FUN and FITNESS I get out of my rides. People usually get their mobile phone cameras out and snap pictures of me and my Halfbike. I am a 55yo guy but I love my Halfbike, I am confident and good on it now, and I get so happy thinking about riding, then riding it, then relaxing after a great ride. Cheers friends

Fun bike and great people behind!!! Thanks a lot!

The perfect bike for me cause I’m always up for a new challenge.

I never bought a bike before but when I saw Halfbike I was really curious because of its uniqueness so I started researching about it online. After two weeks I bought my very first bike and I really fell in love with my Halfbike! It didn’t take me more than 15 mins to learn how to use it. Even my 8 year daughter learn to ride in less than 30 mins. Now my daughter wants her own Halfbike. Kudos to Halfbike team! Well done guys!

Una muy buena experiencia. Hay que reconocer que no es fácil la primera vez que montas en una Halfbike. Pasados unos minutos, ya puedes ir tranquilamente en línea recta, las curvas cuesta un poquillo más. Lo que no hay que hacer es desistir, si has visto vídeos y te han himnotizado como a mí,insiste hasta que consigas dominarla. Despues de unos dias no querrás dejar de usar la Halfbike, y seras el centro de atención. No os arrepentiréis. Saludos.

Absolutely love riding my halfbike - it is a blast. I get tons of stares and questions - and a lot of 'COOL man - what is that thing?'. I will admit that I was hesitant to purchase due to all the comments on learning curve. I watched a ton of Youtube videos and also the instructional videos on the website. Once it arrived, my wife kept egging me on to get on it. First nice day - hopped on it and went. Honestly, it took me about 20 minutes to feel comfortable on it. For me - a 50 year old dude - was able to pick it up pretty quickly. Like I said earlier - this thing is a blast. Make it happen and pick one up - you will not be disappointed Also a great leg workout - and a great workout overall!

my reasons for owning a HALFBIKE. the freedom to just get up and go , my half bike is either in the boot of my car or its coming away with me on get away breaks abroad , its light weight portable and always reday to be ridden, the other reason is the exercise side of my HALFBIKE unlike a conventional bike it take more to ride a HALFBIKE as you are stood up to ride it and it use's more of the body muscles to ride , main areas i feel after riding is forearms / arms / shoulders / body core / thighs and calf's cant imagine life now without my HALFBIKE

I recently acquired a medium sized halfbike with the 3 speed hub. I am an avid cyclist and an outlier with both DF and Recumbent bicycles. I became adept at the halfbike in about 20 minutes in a parking lot. I immediately felt new muscles working, including my core and upper body. I have ridden as far as 6 miles in the first week and really enjoyed the bolt upright riding position. I live on a busy bike path and had no problems maneuvering around joggers and baby carriages. I like the bike's minimalist vibe and simple solutions for folding and braking. I am thrilled to have added the halfbike to stable of human powered vehicles. I am excited to experience future variations of the halfbike and will watching its evolution with great anticipation.

I've been waiting years for a bike like this. Standing, high quality and compact. What's not to like! Dave J

I bought my second hand halfbike on ebay, and I absolutely love it. I use it for commute to work 9km one way - so 18km of halfbiking per day! First reason why I love halfbike: I can combine the commute and have a workout at the same time - gives me more free time for my other training, chilling, and my friends and family. Second reason why I love it: it is amazing workout. I am a long distance runner (ran mountain marathon) and road cyclist (cycled 230km in one day). But my legs and core were shattered after first 2 days of halfbiking. I can't wait to see the impact of long term halfbiking on my fitness performance. Third reason why I like halfbike: it is such a good fun. I am commuting to work and have feeling that I am on spinning class. I can use my headphones which I never have while I am cycling - for safety reasons. For me halfbike was super easy to learn, it took me around 10 minutes to feel comfortable while riding it (I am 27 and was training martial arts, running, cycling since I was 10). My 3 friends just stood on the halfbike and rode off from first attempt. Highly recommended product.

This is truly a game changer. Well no, it´s a life changer! ;) I am having so much fun riding it, especially after work to relax and cool down. Although the beginning was very hard; especially the first 2 days. But then it made "click" - and since then, every day I simply enjoy and my driving improved constantly. Go for it people, you gonna love it!
