This Weird Bike Kicked My ... Ego ...

[@tl8142]

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

[@tl8142]

Reading my explanation 😂😂 well i dont know how to explain it i tried ❤

[@hkckoo]

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.

[@hainish2381]

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.

Love these wacky bikes! This one is definitely looks difficult. Good going😂

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

Thanks!

[@costamagis6539]

May you should do a review for the Chinese Ali express version of half bike.

[@CrossCultural-c7f]

Thanks!

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

Thank you!

[@NWforager]

this reminds me of Trikke . i got some killer uphill work outs on that thing . could be a good addition to Wacky list

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

I've seen the trikke around. They don't have gears or anything, right? Is it basically a handlebar for roller blades?

[@NWforager]

@@BlueMonkeyBicycles heh , good take on it . sort of . yes . pretty much you carve the move . they do sell e-trikkes tho

[@tomcase6368]

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!

[@jmattos]

Great video! im totally into this half bike thing. very curious

[@lulu.visdev]

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

[@hasan_z]

or a 360 instacam for 3rd party pov

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

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

[@user-bp3zf3se4w]

how are you abs?

[@sergioontiveros4984]

Cool toy but a "half bike" costing double what a full premium bike costs is ridiculous

[@BlueMonkeyBicycles]

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.

[@OneKnifeYeHand]

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.

[@tomcase6368]

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!!

[@hainish2381]

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.

[@lmarts]

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.

[@geriannroth449]

Try Me-mover next time please
