Halfbike – A Workout Bike Based on the Natural Standing Position of the Body for Cycling, Running and Skiing

What is a Halfbike? – Halfbike is a full-body workout device based on the natural standing position of the body. Riding it is intuitive, and its lean-to-steer turning system makes it easy to control. It is a blend of cycling, running, and skiing combined into a single experience. For everyone who loves being out and active, Half-Biking is a unique way to exercise that covers the whole spectrum—it improves overall fitness level, balance and coordination, cardiovascular health, aerobic capacity, endurance, and mindfulness. And the best of all—it is a workout that’s fun!

Upright body position: The Halfbike is designed around the body’s natural standing position, making riding an unparalleled experience. This posture allows for intuitive balance and control of the bike. In addition, the upright riding form promotes deeper and easier breathing, enhancing overall circulation, improving VO2 max, and enabling greater mindfulness and alertness.

Full Body Workout: Riding a Halfbike is a full-body workout that trains all major muscle groups naturally. The lower, core, and upper body are always engaged, and the lean-to-steer turning system trains your core muscles — abdominal muscles, obliques, hip flexors, and back muscles. This leads to harmonious development and strengthening of the whole body with a profound effect not only on a muscular level but also on the skeleton system and tendons.

Unique balance training: At its core, riding a Halfbike is a unique and innovative way to train balance and reflexes. It requires continuous balance and focus, stimulating the nervous system and improving reaction time and reflexes. Riding a Halfbike reduces stress and improves overall brain function, leading to greater mental clarity and effectiveness. Furthermore, studies have shown a direct correlation between good balance and longevity.

Cardio beyond comparison: It’s like taking an elliptical outdoors. Halfbike uses most major muscle groups in your body, including your heart. After riding it for just 20 minutes a day, you can experience increased circulation, decreased blood pressure, and overall improvement in heart health. The unique combination of low-impact training with a natural body position makes Halfbike great for cardio and aerobic exercises.

Low Impact Training: Riding a Halfbike is a unique exercise that blends elements from cycling, running, and skiing and engages the whole body. Numerous professional athletes and runners have incorporated Halfbikes into their training routines, citing their ability to provide low-impact running conditions and reduce the risk of injury at the same time. According to some runners, it’s like running on air. It’s ideal for every day ” easy-on-the-joints” training and great for rehabilitation from stress or injury.

Compact and foldable: The Halfbike is light and small and can accompany you anywhere. Its quick-release system makes it easy to fold and effortless to travel. Take it on board public transit, put it in the trunk of even the smallest car, or fit it into places too tight for a regular bike—it’s as easy as it looks.
