"'We took the core driving mechanism of a classical bicycle but redesigned pretty much everything else. The result - a vehicle that trains your balance and reflexes in a new way.'"
"'The standing rider position is essential for the Halfbike. It brings you closer to natural walking and it's the only way to control the vehicle with your whole body and not just your hands.'"
"'Riding a Halfbike gives you a different perspective to the city. We're in no way trying to convince you that a Halfbike is better than a bicycle.'"
"'I started sketching different concepts for a simplified bike and soon reached a point where I needed to test these concepts in real life.'"
Halfbike is a unique vehicle that combines elements of running and cycling, featuring one large wheel and two small stabilizers. It is steered by leaning while holding a central column. The design allows riders to stand, providing a different perspective of the city and training balance and reflexes. Priced at $399, it aims to be a compact alternative for urban transport and fitness. The inventors emphasize that it is not meant to replace traditional bicycles but offers a distinct riding experience.
