Meet Tom, a lover of the outdoors and an exercise and fitness enthusiast who harbours a certain passion for alternative & crazy bikes. After taming his Halfbike, he started to really appreciate the fun factor added to his cross-training routines. With the tradition to ride as many miles as his age on his birthday, this year he went above and beyond to ultimately do 35 more, reaching his current record of 100 miles on the Halfbike.

I usually run or cycle everyday. I saw a video on the halfbike and thought that would be fun to add to my routine. It looked so cool and effortless to ride on the video. Turns out it’s an awesome machine that provides a rigorous workout too.

Each time we go out, my heart and body get stronger, my mind gets a needed rest and reset from work pressures, and I’m able to attain a level of life balance and well-being that make me feel two decades younger!

I am now at a time where I easily ride 20+ kilometers. Uphill, downhill, it's all doable with a halfbike.

This is an amazing invention. Every time I'm out with my Halfbike, I see it as a FUN work out! I'm such a fan of this incredible invention. It brings so much joy to me. Once you know how to ride with it, you'll absolutely gonna love this thing. Halfbike isn't just a fun ride but trust me this is also 100% good for your health. See the beauty of nature in a very fun and healthy way through Halfbike !!! As a Zumba instructor, aside from Zumba Halfbike riding is my ultimate FUN, joyful work out activity.

I am a physically active person who loves running. I had been looking for a stand-up bicycle for a couple of years. The ones I saw online were somewhat cost prohibitive and a little too bulky in size. When I stumbled upon the halfbike, I was intrigued. After seeing the videos, I got excited about the possibility of owning one. I dropped a ‘load’ of hints on my wife that it would be nice to receive one for my birthday. Lo and behold, when my birthday came around, so did the halfbike! The learning curve described on their website was accurate for me. Now I am riding this thing all over town after having owned it for just over a month! It has become a big part of my active lifestyle. I am passionate about this product and want to share the fun experience with others!

Hello, I'm not into writing, but I can say that when you drive Halfbike you feel alive. The best investment I've ever made because you get not just an object, but a constant rush of emotions.

I remember in 2017 while preparing for my journey to Côte d’Ivoire, that I would probably need a cardio machine. After all in the complex that I resided in, had a decent small gym room that I frequent. One day while poking around on YouTube, I came across a video that had the “Top 5 human transports”. Hmmm this seems interesting. To my surprise! I haven’t seen anything like these new inventions. There were vehicles with solar power & electric power as well. I think that I narrowed my search down to 2 possible bikes to bring along with me. They were the “Solo wheel” & The “Halfbike”. After careful consideration I chose the halfbike. Why? Because I could get a KILLER cardio workout & look chic doing it!

Halfibke 3 is the next best thing after Halfbike 2 came to light. It is much more stable, maneuverable and offers a serious joy boost to the riding experience. The front brake makes it even more safer, while the new gears help you climb some pretty steep hills:)

Riding a Halfbike would be the best thing you would do on your day; not only because everyone in town would look at you but also because of the fun that it takes on learning this new sport.
