Halfbike II is a pedal-powered vehicle designed to improve the rider's balance

This video shows the latest version of the Halfbike - a three-wheeled vehicle similar to a pedal-powered Segway - designed by transport design company Kolelinia. Kolelinia founders Martin Angelov and Mihail Klenov unveiled the first low-tech version of the Halfbike last year and have now launched a new iteration with a curved aluminium frame on Kickstarter.
Halfbike II users stand up while peddling, shifting their bodyweight left or right to change direction while holding a vertical handle.The aim is to improve the rider's balance, while offering a fun way to navigate city streets.
"We set out to create a vehicle that awakens your natural instinct to move," Kolelinia co-founder Mihail Klenov told Dezeen, "a vehicle that trains your balance and reflexes in a new way."
The Halfbike II has a curved aluminium base frame, rather than the chevron-shaped support of its predecessor. The frame connects a plywood handlebar, large front wheel, pedals, a cog and chain mechanism, and two smaller rear wheels. As another change from the previous design, the handlebar now sits above the front wheel rather that connecting to a frame at the cog axis. It is now also available as an all-black model.

Thessaloniki Greece baby!! my sweet home town..

[@Shakester71]

If this could fold up, I can see a lot of every day commuters using this. I see many people on skateboards, Razor scooters and bikes. This combines them all.

[@sirgrundel]

looking at it makes me think people may get tired really fast using that. Obviously not all people will but a a lot will. Still though i believe this is a good idea, great for working out.

Have you ever tried to stand and pedal?
Yes people if you are really fit you will be able to sustain that for 2 minutes.

[@benhardy2040]

I once had my seat brake and had to ride back home standing. Best damn workout of my life! I'm not sure how confy the halfbike would be

[@jonhohensee3258]

[@willybshreddn3794]

One of the first things I thought about was the old antique High Wheel bikes where everyone busted their melon trying to quick because rider was positioned on top of a 30 something inch wheel.

Hy ! I'm looking for such a peedle "Halfbike", that have a seat and (secondly) an electrical assistance also. I don't know if it does exist yet ? I am an old man handicaped but need to do some physical exercices too. But because of "balance troubles", i can't walk a long distance. Thank you for inquieries.

[@henq]

I think I recognize Thessaloniki, Greece (from pictures, never been there).

[@giorgosfrantzeskakis5892]

Where's the helmets ? Shouldn't there be helmets?

[@bertsbug]

Only half helmets needed

[@voutolliC22]

Fuck a helmet nyugga I gets money

[@ArizonaBaySwimming]

[@Ermo77]

I´d like to see a full braking with that bike on a good speed.

[@jonhohensee3258]

You'd probably learn how to reflexively lean back when you brake.

[@robertocosentini8960]

very amusing

I think people will become tired too fast

[@SeanKimStyle]

let that motivate them to get in better shape ;)

[@willybshreddn3794]

Exactly. I ride BMX and I'm more of a tech rider so my seat is slammed as far as it can go and I can say that riding and never sitting tires you out quick. Bike looks like a good workout and maybe something fun and different to toy with, but I definitely don't see myself riding this thing for a long haul through the neighborhood

[@shaolintemple6886]

I had 1 for 2 days and returned it. There's so many flaws in this thing a can cause injuries and not to mention ankle sprains galore!!

[@StarmonkeyProjects]

I think I'll just get a scooter.

[@yoelalemayehu]

I really love to buy that but too expensive for me im not rich. I hope someone who has a big heart can sponsor and buy me this thing. I would really appreciate that my whole life.

Thats a trike not a bike.

[@bigdaddykurt]

half bike? really ? I think not. its a seat less bike

[@bestyoutubernonegraternumber1]

Lol this does not improve a rider’s balance. It trivializes it. 3 points of contact, front wheel drive, tiny back wheels. It has to be TIRING to ride that.

[@dennismanabat3124]

interesting.. hope to have one.
