Bueno, la verdad es que e un concepto totalmente diferente a todo lo que he tenido con ruedas, al principio es un poco difícil de manejar pero cuando le pillas el truco de mover el cuerpo en vez de intentar girar la rueda es super divertida. Lo que más se trabaja es el cuadriceps, el tren superior también se estimula un poco, la zona del hombro trabaja. En resumen es un método de desplazamiento diferente y adictivo.

I got my Halfbike on the 3-7-2025, went immediatly for a small ride and what I imagined before, it really happened, some speed is your friend, look forward and move the handlebar in the oposite direction of your body, in case you`re loosing heading and balance. Next move was to change direction, first a little bit by leaning my body and then full turnaround, in a large space. Then trying the same in a smaler space, it`s more dificult but possible as I verified later on. Just keep the motion and always pedaling so you dont loose the balance. First days of Halfbike, I was always completly drained and tired, it is a real gym with wheels and let me tell you, this is not a bicycle, it`s completly different, you`re always working your full body, you dont rest even when you`re going downhill you`re working your muscles. . So after 2 months of joy, fun, hard work and 200 kms done, I really feel everyday much more in shape then the day before, and addicted to these new type of ride.

I`m absolutely glad I brought myself an Halfbike. I`m not very sporty lately and get bored easily when doing sports. Halfbike changed that. It`s challenging to start, and this makes it very interesting at the beginning. Then, once you learn the basics, you start having fun cycling in a different way. So far, it`s been very entertaining, and as soon as I have some free time, I try and use it.

I purchased my half bike approximately two months ago. Prior to that most of my fitness routine consisted of running and walking. At 68 years old I and a lot of pounding on my feet I started developing neuropathy and unfortunately running became painful. When I saw an advertisement for half bike I thought this would be an excellent replacement for running. As advertised it took me a while to feel comfortable on my half bike; however, with a positive attitude and determination to make it work for me I am now getting a good workout and improving my core; including my balance that was not very good. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to purchase a half bike to give it time and stay committed. Like many of the reviews imply, it can be frustrating at times, but over time it gets better. If you are the type of person who gives up easy the half bike is not for you; however, if you are looking for a different kind of workout I highly recommend the half bike.

Recently bought it and was able to use it for around 9 miles, took me a little over an hour, it felt like an excellent workout, I was exhausted, I am in good physical condition, I am a runner, I was looking for something to alternate in between my running days; however, later that day my left knee was kind of hurting every time I retracted my legs, seems because it was my first day using it and learning to use it simultaneously, I did not realize how much sideways bending my knees were getting. The next day, however, the knee pain was almost 99% gone and I felt incredible, as if my tendons and joints had strengthened overnight (I used to do spinning at the gym and know the good effects of a good spinning session) so I went for a run, I ran 5 miles in 50 minutes, 30% faster than usual. It is an amazing workout machine, but one have to get to know it to prevent injures and get the most out of it, it is an acquired taste for sure! Go Halfbike! Hans Gordillo

È il mio mezzo preferito! Purtroppo uso meno la bicicletta perché anche nei giorni di allenamento lungo è perfetta.La uso tutti i giorni, mi piace molto. È geniale,si vola in equilibrio sui pedali. Anche in salita da molte soddisfazioni. Crea dipendenza.

Keine halben Sachen? Warum denn eigentlich nicht 😊 Mit dem @Halfbike durchs Leben – warum mein neues Hobby mehr als nur Bewegung ist Manchmal braucht es nur drei Räder, um neue Perspektiven zu entdecken. 🚲 Seit Kurzem bin ich begeisterte Halfbike-Fahrerin – und was als sportlicher Ausgleich begann, ist inzwischen zu einer echten Leidenschaft geworden. Das Halfbike ist nicht nur ein Hingucker, es fordert Balance, Koordination und Konzentration – und genau das macht es für mich so besonders. Die Verbindung von Bewegung, Freiheit und Achtsamkeit. Es ist fast wie eine kleine Meditation auf Rädern – und gleichzeitig ein rasantes Abenteuer, mittlerweile komme ich auf 26km/h, yeah! 💡 Mein Learning: Neue Wege entstehen, wenn man bereit ist, etwas Ungewohntes auszuprobieren.

Adquirí una Half Bike porque venía de hacer deporte, correr y patinar principalmente y tenía las rodillas bastante desgastadas y doloridas. Correr ya no podía y necesitaba encontrar alguna actividad que lo supliera . Con la Half Bike no es lo mismo pero si tiene muchas cosas en común . Pasada la fase de aprendizaje disfruto mucho saliendo a halfbikear tanto en modo deportivo, haciendo kilómetros rápidamente o simplemente saliendo a rodar escuchando música y dejándome llevar, en modo tranquilo . Para mi es una experiencia adictiva . Me he fijado el objetivo de , al menos , salir con la Half Bike todos los días un rato, aunque sea media hora . Me da mucha felicidad . Estoy muy contento con ella .

It’s well built and have no complaints on its structure. However, I still don’t know how to ride it. I feel like Im going to fall every time. I use it like a scooter for now. Working on my balance and core, but my review is only for the craftsmanship. Once I learn how to ride, I will update.

Have had the half bike for about 2-3 months. It take sometime to manouver especially when it comes to turns. However after a few hours of practice you can start riding without falling all the time. Whne riding it you feel you leg, back and shoulder girdle muscles engaged so yes all your body is being worked up, and on top of that it involves balancing and co-ordination. My only issue is were i live there isn`t much flat spaces to ride - i have a lot of slopes and hills, i am pretty sure that with time one can gain muscle strength to go up most hills, but this will take time. I bought the half bike since i wanted an alternative to jogging after i suffered a prolapse disc. I wanted to avoid impact on my back and the half bike fits in nicely, it works the back muscles without putting to much compressive straing on my spine, hips and knees. I wonder if future version will have braking in the posterior wheels, if at all possible, this would add better control and braking

Halfbike makes a great bike with excellent components. Assembly was simple and they provide a helpful step-by-step video to ensure proper assembly. Learning how to ride was kind of a funny and surprising. I was terrible at first, but I got the hang of it. I`ve put a little over 100 miles on it now and I still feel like I`m learning how to be better each time I ride. Everywhere I go on it, people ask what it is; and they think it`s cool and interesting. My only complaint is the fenders. The fenders are just an add on that you can choose to buy. My main fender popped off and has been missing since day one. Anyway, everything else works great and the riding experience is very fun!

I absolutely love my Halfbike! It took a little time to get fully acquainted with it, but now I can confidently say it’s a fantastic ride. It’s not just great exercise, but also a really fun bike to own! You always have to stay on your toes, especially when the terrain gets bumpy, which adds to the excitement since your body is the steering! The only minor downside is that the brakes are pretty loud — but I suppose they make sure everyone knows when I`m coming!

Es ist unbeschreiblich. Man muss es einfach ausprobieren und wenn dich die Sucht gepackt hat, möchtest du nicht mehr aufhören. 😎🤩🥵

Very fast delivery.

I used to ride a Halfbike 2 back in the time in France, which I really enjoyed. I moved to New Caledonia in 2022, and had to select what was coming - the Halfbike could not be part of the trip. I missed it very much, and contacted Denitsa regarding the possibility to order a new Halfbike 3 here in NC. Denitsa was very helpful, and I finally ordered my bike taking advantage of their special sales on their website. I received the bike as my "gift" for Christmas 2024. Immediately started the assembly, and rode the next day :) I had forgotten the challenge to ride, but quickly went back to speed, with the additional benefit of Halfbike 3. The balance and handling are greatly improved compared to HB2. I can now feel the bike in the curves much better, and enjoy it even more than my HB2. Thank you to all the team at Halfbike, wishing you all the best. Xavier, from Nouméa, New-Caledonia

My first stand up bike was a halfbike and I've tries others but I ended up coming back. The things I love about the halfbike are how small it is and how little space it takes up. I also love how the brakes and gears are internal. The learning curve is a hurdle but it is worth it to stick it out and they are so much fun after you get the hang of it.
