This is HB model 2, yeah the rim brakes there suck. HB model 3 has a much better drum brake on the front wheel that works just fine and you certainly wont flip over :D and even disc brakes work, I managed to modify my front wheel with a different hub (not sturmey archer) that works with disc brakes.
I use a mix of cameras, but mostly action cameras, like GoPro. Sometimes I have a second person riding a bike in front, aside or behind me. Other times I'm alone with using the small camera on a stick. I also use a drone, and separately a 360 camera. However, I use these sparingly. amzn.to/3RFIm6d
Yeah, I didn't mention price or background at all. I might make a video later on discussing that. The official videos seemed to change over time. At first they were touting how practical it is, then they started talking about how great a workout it is.
Not sure where you live, but here in the Netherlands, a full premium bike from a relatively good brand is about the same or higher in price. Plus the Halfbike is more of a full body workout then a true bike, so it's not even directly comparable.
I have all 3 models. Also have Trikkes and Me-Mover's. All 3 are good workouts with their own individual benefits. You can get a bike from Walmart for less but a good quality bike will be much more expensive. Halfbike is the most fun bike i have, and as far as comfort, you get used to it. I've done some major distances on it, there are even a couple videos on my channel about my long rides. Love my Halfbikes!!
Yes, a premium bike is way more expensive. My bike cost 3 times what my halfbike cost. Even (I'm in Europe, if you buy a medium cost bike at Decathlon, it will be the same price or higher than the new HB3.
Thanks!
Thank you!
3:25 you are not suppose putt weigh forwards on the handlebar but grab it and pull on the handle bar feeling as if you would lean backwards
Reading my explanation 😂😂 well i dont know how to explain it i tried ❤
Love these wacky bikes! This one is definitely looks difficult. Good going😂
Thanks!
May you should do a review for the Chinese Ali express version of half bike.

Yup, was going to say the same. I had a HB2 and since I got the model 3 the brakes are great, I have more gears and the geometry is better.
this reminds me of Trikke . i got some killer uphill work outs on that thing . could be a good addition to Wacky list
I've seen the trikke around. They don't have gears or anything, right? Is it basically a handlebar for roller blades?
@@BlueMonkeyBicycles heh , good take on it . sort of . yes . pretty much you carve the move . they do sell e-trikkes tho
I ride Trikkes too. I feel Trikke and Halfbike both give good workouts with their own unique benefits. Hope you get one, they are awesome!
Great video! im totally into this half bike thing. very curious
how are you getting the shots of you biking through the park? is it a drone or another person filming you? great vid, i love this wacky bike
or a 360 instacam for 3rd party pov

how are you abs?
Cool toy but a "half bike" costing double what a full premium bike costs is ridiculous

I guess the low scale production is another reason of its price. If it succeeds and is eventually mass produced prices will definitely go down.
Try Me-mover next time please
