Crazy trike with rear wheel steering! - The Halfbike

[@AwesomeOfAwesomest]

OK, this is why I love this channel. other people would've just rode it once or twice and called it a scam, but you actually tried your best and gave quite some insight instead of just trying it for the camera. kutos to you

i love your comitment to jump everything with wheels! :D

AHAHHAH

[@albertomartinez5870]

Finally a REAL and not COMMERCIAL REVIEW, opinion. I had one and struggled for long. Good looking, hard to drive, hard to feel safe, insecure for turns and STOPS. And heavy. After many many weeks I sold it. You see videos/ads/experts and you feel in person how amazing it would be, swinging, jumping. My reality, the opposit. My congratulations for this video.

[@Mrgnothing1]

put mountain bike handlebars on it

[@benzodiy4053]

no, do this to a bmx!

[@harryrobertson488]

Was thinking that too, would it make it easier with more stability from wider bars?

[@smileyguyz]

I think it would be harder, scooters have narrow handlebars and on my Razor A4, I couldn't imagine using wider bars. For me it would make me crash a lot.

[@gavinsmith4017]

Ryan LeFevre pro scooters have wider bars

[@rageagainstthetoymachine2410]

yeah ryan, pro scooters do infact have wide bars, only Walmart scooters have narrow bars. i know this and don't even ride a scooter haha i skate and i'm in a wheelie group called oneway, look us up, oneway corey rides for se bikes, gets thousand dollar bikes for free. i'm not as good as him tho not yet haha.

No it wouldn't work really it would kinda counter what it is made for and if you have electronic drive it would probably turn into some wierd Segway

[@sergioferreira5771]

Dragontastic you must be fun at parties... not

[@darinladd5312]

I’m old and my lower back is destroyed, so I can’t ride a bike anymore. My halfbike lets me exercise without bending over. The trick to riding it is to keep low and level while pedaling, and crank your opposite abs. This keeps it dynamically-stable. It is a full-body workout. Took me the better part of a year, on-and-off to start enjoying it. Good purchase secondhand.

[@aydenthomas1135]

I was in Pittsburgh today.... saw a guy riding a half bike! I've never seen one before, but it looks like he was struggling! It was pretty funny. Reminded me of this vid

[@mtadams2009]

Much respect to Seth, he started a very successful Mt biking channel living in Florida. Just shows what is possible when you dont see lack of mountains as a limitation. Much respect.

[@ivanstoyanov8554]

now go to the trails with it :D

[@_.rex_vau._]

no way!

[@ShadKS18XL]

@@_.rex_vau._ then why the hell someone would buy bicycle in 21th century? For city transportation we have much better, faster, compact solutions... Bicycle is for sport and trail fun only. For transportation from point A to point B they're suck. They're huge, easy to damage the rims, and you sweat while riding it, so arriving in the Office after riding the bike - is not the best idea. Just go for electric scooters - they're super cheap this days. Or, if you really want more fun, speed, range - get top EUC.

[@vondahe]

Sergey Faynitskiy I use a combination of bicycle and commuter train. Saves me about 30 mins every day (15+15) by now having to walk to/from the stations. I like speed this nerdy gadget is not for me but I’m sure others would like it. In my city, there are so many weird bicycles: Small cabin bikes, cruisers, a bunch of different electric concepts, box carrier bicycle, cargo bicycles, some where the saddles is basically a leather hammock, apart from the normal kinds of bikes. Fatties, however, never really caught on for some reason (I think they’re cool).

[@jeidun]

Sergey Faynitskiy have you heard of a fixed gear? shit's fun to commute on

[@mikemumford1327]

I have about 400 miles on my HalfBike and I love it. I ride mine to work everyday. Lucky for me I only live a little over a mile away..

[@weschilton]

You're a trooper... you really stuck with it and gave it a legit, well thought out review. Awesome man. 👍🏻

[@creative-peace]

Your explanation of how the brain needs to write a new algorithm for how to balance and ride was so perfect! And, the honesty you showed in your vid gives me hope that I can, indeed, learn to ride my Halfbike (used). Thanks for the encouragement! ❤❤

[@zorbathegreek841]

Former marathon runner rehabbing a torn meniscus here...bought this for a more intense but still low-impact cardio workout. It delivers in spades...an hour on this makes me feel like I've just run 2-3 hours at race pace! Wonder if it will feel easier as I get more used to it, as the fatigue could also be caused by all the stress hormones, lol

[@Gaib_al_lisan]

What is the situation now?

[@Dr.Liwsy.]

No one will steal this bike, because no one will be able to ride it.

I know I'm creeping up on 4 years late here but you jumping those stairs on that thing was absolutely insane. You don't ham up your cycling talents at all I feel like but you are so incredibly good. Glad to have your content, Seth

[@Iamhavingastromk]

this is my favorite mtb channel. I'm glad I got into mtb at a young age!

[@trialshoppl7203]

My wife just got one. Its really intuitive, after 20 minutes we were both fairly comfortable riding it. Learning it was a lot of fun because you get better by the minute.

Thank you, great video, you sound very enjoyable to listen too, and learned quite a bit about the product or how you edited the whole video, thanks.

[@dansherman1980]

Kind of cool if the rear wheels were bigger and spaced wider could eliminate the balancing issues most folks have. Looks like it folds up pretty compact so could likely be a nifty little commute bike. They’re priced pretty high though currently $700-500 give or take for that I’d buy a Fubi folding bike.

[@lynx.synthesizer]

Bunny hopping that HalfBike is like hopping on a scooter. Must be pretty light weight. When you tried to 360 off that ledge, I thought you were going to do a 180. Laughed so hard at that part. Keep up the daily content Seth

You are an expert at 'dismounting.'

[@BigPaco213]

I love ur honest reviews man!!

[@killergerbiljeff]

I tried a half bike in Woodland Hills California, it felt rickety and felt like a death trap. It only had brakes on the back wheels and since the bike balance and thrust are forward if you fall forward the brakes are useless. The handles are very small and tight. There is a market for anything, and with time it looks like folks are having fun on it, but it was not for me! Since I was looking for a seatless bike that could go 30 or 50 miles, I bought the Elliptigo SUB and also the MSUB and have never looked back.

[@asdfhiuh]

Reminds me of a Trikke 12. (Loads of fun.)

[@phillipkomissar8323]

[@harrycoupar701]

[@Alcovakey]

half bike seems do dope. I just posted my first video and still trying to figure out what i want my channel to be about but there will deferentially be future mountain bike videos because of your channel.

[@AJMacDonaldJr]

To the trails with the Halfbike!

[@giladbaruchian7522]

They really should make the handlebar longer

[@jakebraun6376]

They should make a mountian version of it! Add wider bars, bigger tires, carbon stem thing, raise it and reinforce it.😁

[@DavidDiLeonardo]

Btw without the three speed is around $600 with shipping to the U.S. and with the three speed it's an extra $50

[@Tangsters]

That looks pretty fun

[@Chrishagen]

Thanks man, was going to buy one of these

[@jcardin2]

I can ride my stand up skatebike one-handed just like three wheel scooters, but if I'm going full throttle over sketchy terrain, a two-handed grip may be preferred. Can also coast using just my knees.

[@Santibag]

I liked it. Hope you upload another video with this. But don't recommend difficult trails because center of weight is so close to front wheel so if the front wheel stops suddenly for some reason, it MAY make rear to fly and let you fly too. On difficult trails, it may be a problem. I don't know if rear steering may also cause problem with trails.

[@dezzi03]

Wow, this thing looks super cool, I would love to try one of those! Looks frustrating as all hell at first haha

[@bradyspace]

The geometry could get tuned to really take advantage of the zagging propulsion combined with peddling. Those zagging scooters are very effortless but lack ability gear up. It looks like you have to time your down crank on the half bike with the leaning pattern.

You should try freeline skates, huge learning curve to start off with, but once you learn, they're so much fun (I ride them)

[@Freak80MC]

I haven't rode a bike in a few years, but this looks miles better to me. I wonder if the difficulty in exertion is inherent to the design, or if it could be designed out, or if it's maybe something you can get used to over time? Oh nevermind you said you got used to it lol

[@vonpupees]

it needs wider bars and it will be easier to ride

[@UWRZoneTheCurrent]

That looks pretty smart to be honest

[@cornpuffs9621]

Thinking about this or a bmx... This is a hard decision:/ bmx js more versatile, but this looks crazy fun

[@jacobkuhn8969]

Do you think it could drift? a thing I think would be super cool is to do what people do to drift trikes. find a section of PVC drain pipe and slide it over the rear wheels. Probably would cause the rear wheels to slip out too far and crash though. worth a thought!

[@m3nt3rn98]
