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.

Il prodotto è divertente ed offre una grande opportunità per un allenamento intenso a livello cardio-vascolare e muscolo articolare. Ottima ed indispensabile la taratura dei rapporti che rendono l'Halfbike fruibile a diverse pendenze. Da rivedere i perni che consentono la piega del manubrio. Infatti, in terreni sconnessi si allentano con grave rischio per l'utilizzatore. Questo rilievo rende meno godibile la fruizione del mezzo. La borsa è eccessivamente precisa e se si montano i parafanghi non risulta agevole la conservazione e il prelievo del mezzo.

I'm loving it! It's difficult to get started at first, my first hour was full of doubt if I could ever make it. But once you get it, it's so much fun! Great quality, design, it's portable and the exercise is really good. Pretty much cardio with HIIT intensity.

Yes. It is fun after my first few tries. Love it. The only thing I am facing challenges to balance the bike todate.

It was my best purchase in 2024, even though I only bought it in winter, or rather we still have winter. Riding a halfbike is a lot of fun and challenges the body both physically and technically. The first few times were challenging, but the learning curve was as described. I now enjoy the halfbike high instead of the previous runners high.

I have had my bike for ~5 months. I’ve reached a long ride of 10 miles. I thoroughly enjoy 5 mile rides on average. I think the handle bar material should be tougher.

Shipping was as described…it got held up by Fed Ex, but Halfbike’s customer service was amazing and on top of it. Bike arrived packaged excellent. The assembly was straight forward. Had the bike out riding very shortly after assembly (I watched a video saying that you need to keep your arms loose, and that really helped). It is an amazing workout!!! You may think you are in shape…but you are not in Halfbike shape. Everyone that I have shown and let ride it agrees, and all have said that they want one too!!!

I was a bit nervous at first, but I was able to ride it after about a week. Now I enjoy riding it. People often talk to me when I'm riding.

There is better way to express your joy than a ride:) I use it to go to work, 20 minutes ride, and sometimes to have fun. It is very good way to workout and being active. Of course for the size you have your limitations but I do jump as well with it ;) My child love it too

Une révolution ! J’ai eu une névrite vestibulaire en plein été avec beaucoup de violents vertiges. Reprendre le sport était nécessaire alors heureusement que j’ai trouvé le HalfBike pour m’aider. Depuis c’est devenu un indispensable dans ma routine hebdo. Merci d’avoir inventé cet engin ! Moi qui adore le ski, qui déteste le vélo et la courses à pied, j’ai enfin trouvé le combo parfait pour le sport en plein air avec les sensations que j’aime, et dans aucun vertige !

Bonjour, j'ai découvert le halbike à travers un réseau social et vraiment je me félicite de cette découverte. Cela fait depuis des années que je cours, à raison de 4 à 5 sorties par semaine, pendant des années, à force, je me suis usée les articulations du genou. A tel point qu'aujourd'hui je ne peux quasiment plus courir sans ressentir après coup d'atroces douleurs. Depuis que l'utilise mon halbike, plus de douleurs mais que du plaisir. J'ai retrouvé la joie des longues sorties le WE (20 - 25 km de randonnées) et surtout j'ai remusclé tout le bas de mon corps. Je recommande vraiment cet outil même s’il est un peu difficile à appréhender au départ.

I have my halfbike since August. I’m 57 years old, and my condition Needed an upgrade after Some lung embolie problems. The first steps of the learning curve, were as in the paper. After Some weeks, ik could make bows and Some distance straight. Now, 2 Month later i bike for 30-45 minutes, 4 times a week. Mostly i need Some rest minutes, en every day ik train bows and 8 forms. I have to mention te state of muscles because when i’m getting acidify, my concentration is also gone. My condition grows every week. The halfbike is very much fun.

I had to find an alternative form of exercise to replace running. I saw the Halfbike on instagram, researched, and bought one for my 60th birthday over two months ago. I am riding at least7-10 miles a day and averaging 9 to 11 miles an hour, getting a very good aerobic workout. I enjoy much more than running. I could not keep my wife off my Halfbike, and got her one too, so we both are Halfbiking most every day together. I highly recommend Halfbiking as a primary form of exercise.

It took some time at the beginning but after a while it is just pure fun! Every time I go for a halfbike session, i'm returning with a big smile om my face!
