It's a great tip to start with the pedal at the lower position. Completely unintuitive for a cyclist, but it makes so much sense. It must be fun coming up with these tips!
Thanks Jimmy. I picked up one of these a year or so ago, and just had the feeling that I would try and slow the rotation of the planet with my face if I actually tried to ride it.
Jimmy how long did it take you to feel confident riding. Yesterday my half bike arrived and I could only ride for an hour. I was exhausted. I run 30 miles a week and ride 40. This morning I woke up and my whole body hurts.
kim warner hehehe. Enjoy! Yeah - I lost 6 pounds trying to ride mine for 30 min per day during the first week. Gotta stick with it. It will take some time. I, now, can ride 1hr per day ( with a couple 5min rest stops) for 10-12 miles a day for 4-5 times per week. There are HalfBikers who ride 3 or 4 times more even. So... stick with it and enjoy the most fun workout in Milky Way.
Im wondering if I should get one of these because I have problems in my lower back and I can’t use a regular bike because it hurt so much, any advice will be appreciated
Hi Juanse. If a regular bike ride makes you hurt - this Halfbike will probably not be any better. The feeling of riding a Halfbike is similar to riding a regular bike when you are pedaling upright and not sitting. So… if this motion makes you uncomfortable - Halfbike may be the same. Sorry :-(
One more thing: need to get 3 plastic tools for changing bike rubber. They are the same as for regular bicycles. They are cheap. They help to take rubber off and put it back on. Cheers
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.
Joco Mayano - you may want to consider their Gen2 Halfbike (that’s what I have and love it). It’s not as expensive. Also, if you tell Halfbike that I recommended you - they can give you some discount and ship for tree. Try. You may be surprised.
@@halfbikerjimmy wow I will do that and tell them you recommended it to me. Yes shipping is really expensive bec im here in Philippines. I dont know bec my salary you know just enough for everyday expenses. Thanks and enjoy your ride.
"keep the momentum going" is a quite famous direction in business management, how good to hear it applied here!

Exactly! It took me 3 days to figure it out. Thank you. :-)

You can push the earth backwards, but not with your face. Save your face for a giant smile whenever you master a new trick on your wondermobile. :-)
Thank you for the tip.
This tip helps ❤
This looks fun
Good on ya Jimmy
Jimmy, please tell us how you stop the halfbike while avoiding bodily injury.
Running into obstacles helps to bring the speed to naught... quickly.
@@halfbikerjimmy That doesn't sound promising 😲
Jump. It’s not as fast as a bike, so you can dismount to a run. BTW - It has brakes, too.

@@halfbikerjimmy Hi there ! Thank you very much for your thoughtful response !
How fast can you go on it?
No idea :-)
Ask on Halfbike Ambassadors Facebook group - there are a couple people who love going crazy fast. They will know. Cheers
