I cycle nearly every day, often alternating between road and mountain. The first ad I saw for the Halfbike intrigued me as it seemed like an entirely different experience. After hemming and hawing over it for at least a couple months, I finally pulled the trigger and have enjoyed it immensely (even with one major wipeout on my first attempt.) I still haven't done much more than a 5k at one time but it's great for my city's (Salt Lake) biking paths. I now just keep it in the back of my car so I can pull it out when I have time for a short workout.

I purchased the half-bike when I broke my coccyx. It took a few days to master; it may be a 'half bike', but it is not bike-like. It takes time to learn to balance and steer. The process was much easier once I realised that the back wheels steer. Be prepared; it is a workout and a lot of fun. It would be best to have flat roads/paths, though, as I struggled with hills. And you'll get noticed! The best part, though, was taking it on holiday. I dismantled the half-bike, packed it into the car and drove to the south of France.

I was a little bit hesitant at first to order, because off the relatively high price. But never regretted it! This makes working out so much fun! If you are doubting the purchase because of the price, please notice that an average fitness machine also costs a lot of money and so does a fitness membership. Try to find a Halfbike ambassador near you to try one. Customer service is great! If you want more information from real life Halfbike users, please look up the owner group on facebook.

Very hard in the beginning, but now love it.

My halfbike is addictive, I ride about once a week on the weekend on a lovely paved trail. It took about 4 rides of any distance to get confidence but now I'm riding around 12 miles and it really keeps your heart rate up. It's so fun and rewarding to get out on it and go. You get lots of smiles and looks but everyone agrees it's pretty cool looking!

Super divertida. La amo. Simplemente la mejor !!!

I am very impressed with the performance and design of the Halfbike. It rides exceptionally well, particularly on flat surfaces, offering a smooth and enjoyable riding experience. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly one can learn to ride it. The learning curve is much shorter than I expected, and it is a lot of fun to use the Halfbike. The appearance of the Halfbike is also very appealing. I really like the modern, minimalist design, which is always positively noticed. The build quality and materials used are high-quality and durable, giving the Halfbike an elegant yet sturdy look. One suggestion for improvement I would like to make concerns the handlebar grips. I would highly appreciate it if these could be integrated by default. The grips provide additional holding options, which significantly increase comfort, especially on longer rides. They allow for better hand positioning, making it much more comfortable to ride over longer distances. As someone who rides the Halfbike for over 10 km daily, I believe this enhancement would greatly improve the overall experience. In conclusion, I am very satisfied with the Halfbike overall and will gladly recommend it.

Very good exercise outside home. Very good for the abs and the legs.

Great tool for improving skills. First I was thinking about purchasing new normal bike, but this was the best choice. It is very compact, can be hold with one hand. I really like it. I took some time to know how to ride, but know I really enjoy it.

I did a compulsary purchase when I saw the video on Instagram. Then I received the box and fun started. Unfortunately I had an issue with a wheel but customer care has been perfect and solved the problem effortless. I’m very happy and enjoying riding

I have to say that this bike is one of the most versatile bikes I have ever tried. It’s fun and a workout at the same time. It’s so unique and I will never get tired of it. Once you have tried it, you can definitely never go back!!! I just love it.

I was a bit scared by all this "learning curves", but actually it is pretty easy. Also it is surprisingly fast (with a caveat that in Amsterdam everything is flat). I enjoy it very much. A lot of people ask me why I use it, but answer is just for fun.

Es increíble la Halfbike, trabajas todo el cuerpo , al principio es difícil pero con paciencia y constancia se aprende . Es muy divertida, el único cambio que yo le haría , es que las ruedas de atrás fueran algo más grande. Por el resto es perfecto.

Hi, As a context: * I've live in Lisbon area (a lot of hills), * I'm after 40 with 90 kg weight My daughter is an active 7 years old kid and at some point I wasn't able run as fast as she rides a scooter. HB was designed to be used for short distances (less than 15-20 km). * Learning basic driving on the HB turned out to be child's play; * HB is a lot of fun to drive; * HB It is perfect as a companion for kid on scooter; * HB It is beautifully and minimalistically made; * Riding on HB allows you to get tired / exercise :] As a cons: unlike a bicycle and unicycle, your hands must be on the handlebars, the descents are terrible, you need good quality roads to enjoy the ride. Unexpectedly, I had the opportunity to damage the bearing in the rear wheel. The contact with halfbikes.com was great, they helped, took care of me and my HB. Customer support and service: Great!

What can I say? Riding the halfbike is real fun!!! I like to learn new things, and in the beginning you really have to learn. But the fun and the fitness grow!

My husband got the bike for me as a Christmas gift and I love it! I’m in my mid-fifties and I love a challenge. The halfbike is definitely a challenge until you get the hang of it. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who is adventurous and loves to try new things.

Love my halfbike as well as the process of learning to ride a new kind of bike. Bruce G

We love your bikes! We are trail runners and spin at home. I’ve been looking for something as close to running as possible without all the pounding. We love them! They are perfect! I’ve looked for years finally! It was a learning curve ???? but now we are pros. Or at least getting there. ???????? do you have ambassadors in Arizona? We’d love to help out and or be one if needed. People stop us all the time. ???? Carrie Martin

Thank you for making such a wonderful bicycle! The half bike I bought the other day is doing really well! I have been riding a half bike for over 3 years, and there is no other bike that allows me to experience so much freedom in maneuverability! Please experience the many new sensations that are completely different from ordinary bicycles with saddles! ************************************************** When anyone first rides a half bike, they find it difficult to operate, but as you get used to riding it, you will discover many fun maneuverability features! Each person will experience unique movements depending on their physical ability and body type. I have been riding a half bike almost every day for over 3 years and I still find the maneuvers interesting and complex! It's a free ride where you can feel the possibility of improving even if you ride for years! ************************************************* Instead of just sitting on the bike saddle and pedaling, enjoy half-biking with more freedom and trusting your own senses！

I am István from Hungary. Compact, unique vehicle and excellent sports equipment. Where you live, I've never seen anything like it! It is very sensitive to road conditions, but accidents can be prevented with due care. I went into traffic after 2 months of practice. It took me this long to be able to turn in any direction in a small curve (within 3 meters) and to keep the direction. In 3rd gear, you can travel with it at the speed of a traditional bicycle, but to cover a distance of more than 5 km in one stretch, I would have to train more. I am very satisfied with the tool and the support! Thanks!
