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.

I’m totally in love with my halfbike. I was nervous about getting it, because, though I have a dance/Pilates background, I’m 70 years old and wasn’t sure if it would be age appropriate. I’m so glad I didn’t chicken out. As well as several other modalities, I’ve trained in the Franklin Method, which is all about functional movement. We bipeds are the most efficient walkers and are designed (have evolved) to carry our structure vertically with head, pelvis, feet alined. With the Halfbike, one moves in that way; the way the body is designed to move. Before getting my Halfbike, I’d had to stop running because my knees where causing me problems. I started bike riding instead, but unfortunately, it was exacerbating some lower back pain I was having. I started questioning my sitting placement on the bike. With my upper body pitched and waited forward, I was experiencing numbness in my arms. I also questioned my pelvis being locked onto the bike’s seat (and the discomfort that caused). Our pelvis is our structural centre, it has to (or should) articulate internally in order to manage and distribute all the forces that converge from above and below, as we move. This internal movement “pelvic rhythm” facilitates efficient, balanced movement and force absorption. I figured, because the Halfbike is sorta like walking on steroids, and walking is what we bipeds have evolved to do best, that it might manage and distribute the forces between my lower and upper body efficiently enough to allow me to challenge/push my body, without injury. I figured right! I’ve been riding my Halfbike, full tilt boogie, for three months now; it has helped reduce the inflammation in my knees and has resolved my lower back pain. And it’s a hell of a workout! Core, cardio, cognition, coordination, and fun! I must add: I am extremely lucky to live in a place with very little vehicular traffic. This has allowed me the time and space to conquer the considerable learning curve required in acquiring the necessary skills for controlling my Halfbike safely. Having a low traffic place to learn, has been very important. Everyone at Halfbike headquarters have been extremely helpful throughout the ordering process. They have really been delightful and responsive communicators. Thank you Halfbike team! Doug Hamburgh Toronto, Canada

Makes old people's teeth fall out and kids scream with excitement as you fly by

Honestly if you are thinking whether to get one or not... just go ahead and order one!! It's true in what they say about taking a little while to get your head around it but once you do... wow just absolute pure fun and I just want to ride it every day!! Absolute full body workout at the same time as it being a whole lot of fun and on top of that you get people smiling and wondering what on earth they have seen :) It's great to let my friends and family experience it and gives us all a massive laugh when people are trying it for the first time!! What you waiting for, you won't regret it!!

It feels completely different to ride a halfbike than a regular bike, the old bike was forgotten :) customer service is also super, responsive, and helps to resolve any issues very quickly. I received the spare part within a few days of the request. In summary, I recommend it to those who love sports and want to try something new. It is comfortable to drive with good road surface (gravel road surface is not very suitable)

Hallo Bobby it’s so fun and pretty awesome. but I have to practice more Thank you so much

Hallo Bobby I love it! it’s so fun and pretty awesome , I have to practice more . thank you so much!!

The halfbike 3 is pure joy. It took quite some time to learn, but I wasn't regular. Now I can drive with confidence, speeding up, turning, although still learning how to lean back and break safely. I use it for short commutes on my way to sports activities, like basketball, gym, and I have a nice warm up excercise. The bike has really good quality. Trick is to keep the steering bar closer to your body and center of gravity, having a loose grip on it, which relieves pressure on back wheels while turning. I will order the rain/mud protective accessories, there is a lot of rain in NL. Good job, halfbike crew! Keep up! :)

I love my halfbike, it took my a couple of tries to figure out how to ride it, but once you let go of the traditional biking riding, it's very easy. When you start to loose your balance it's a very odd feeling that you can't sit down, however it's a very good work out. I am 64 1/2 and ride all around my neighborhood. I am so glad I bought my Half Bike.

This is an extremely well built product that is fun to ride. I am 58 and was up and running after about 2 days of practice. Since this is more of a thrill ride than a traditional bike you should wear a helmet. The hardest thing to learn is steering by shifting weight and is more difficult the faster you ride. People who ski should have no problem adjusting. Of note also; the half-bike provides a much more strenuous workout than a traditional bike. Also, before each ride, check that the cam locks on the steering column are tight, otherwise the column can come loose while you are riding.

Hola buenas. En primer lugar explicar que uso la halfbike para moverme por la ciudad de Barcelona y es una manera muy divertida y práctica de transporte.Tambien la uso para hacer deporte sobre 25 kilómetros,es un deporte de mínimo impacto con lo cual te mantienes en forma sin lesionarse. Ha este pedazo de invento le doy un sobresaliente.

I love my halfbike and I use it a lot. after having it 4 months it's still fun to ride and there's nothing like the thrill of the first few days learning to ride it! I never take my regular bicycle out anymore. because i have some back and neck problems seated bike causes some jarring that doesn't happen riding a standing bike. I have a suggestion for the designers to please make the quick release levers longer as I am a woman and for me I cannot make them tight enough and they used to come undone while I was riding. now I never collapse it down so I don't have that problem but it's not as convenient.

This thing is great! I looked at other standing options, but this one is so small and portable (fits easily in the trunk) and more fun! There may be a little learning curve for some, but I had experience with a similar rear-steering scoot (I bought for my kids) and I got it immediately (and so did my kids). It is best on mostly flat areas, but I ride it daily around our lake, usually twice around the 5-mile loop. It is a great workout and I always look forward to it, whereas on a regular bike I tend to get bored rather easily :). Highly recommended!!

I ride a regular bike but half bike is great for its portability. I actually get a better workout in a shorter time that I can feel in my hips and legs. Besides it’s just fun to ride.

The bike has been great and the support has been awesome. I recently had a part break that is not sold on the main site. I was able to reach out to the team at halfbike and they were able to mail the part with a couple days. I was able to replace the part and I have been riding ever since.

Its amazing, in mexico i havent seen another halfbike, when a pass around the people point me very sorprised! Haha I love to ride in my halfbike, is a new experience!

I am very happy with my purchase. I thought driving was easier than it really was, but learning to drive is even more enjoyable.

I love my halfbike 3. I’ve had it for two months, yet I feel it is a new toy every day when I ride it. I still get a little adrenaline rush when I try new things on it or ride it in new places. I will be 60 this month. During the first year of the pandemic I had gained a significant amount of weight and had lost a desire to exercise. It took a few days for me to really get a grip on how to ride the halfbike. Now I feel like a kid going out to play on my daily ride. Also, love the way the Half Bike company operates. They were up front with me about production time and delivery. A “REAL PERSON” communicates with you. Best investment I ever made was buying the halfbike

In 2017 I took a trip to Côté d’Ivoire. However prior to the trip; I didn’t know if the country had an elliptical machine for a cardio vascular workout. So I searched on YouTube for a compact & self powered vehicle. I narrowed my search between the halfbike & the solo wheel. Being that the solo wheel wouldn’t provide the kind of ‘killer cardio’ that I’m used to. I decided to invest in a halfbike. It was love at first contact! It took maybe 45 minutes to learn how to ride it. I love halfbikes so much; that I purchased 5 of them & I gave 4 of them away to a few very appreciated young people here. I love halfbikes so much; that I no longer drive a car! I use public transportation & my halfbike. I do feel that it would be wise for safety first. Like any other vehicle; obey current traffic laws & ride within your particular skill level. The halfbikes company is a first class business. They stand behind their product & they’re always ready to assist their customers promptly. If you would like to purchase your very own halfbike? Use promotional code KYMHR for a discount.
