Although rather unusual, the compact Halfbike is a must-have vehicle for exploring city streets on three wheels. With its shape and mode of transportation, cycling to school or work will now be more than fun. So the bike is a bit different.
Maybe soon we will be able to drive on the city streets with an unusual one half-wheel, created by a team of young designers and researchers in the hope of showing us urban transportation in a different way Kolelinia Lab, who hope to be in their Kickstarter campaign raised enough funds for production.
Halfbike, as they have named their new product, is a new breed means of transport, which they mainly had in mind when making it user experience. The easy drive of two smaller wheels and one slightly larger one provides us with extraordinary fast and fun transportation past the hustle and bustle of the city through the roads and alleys, and its platform represents innovative approach to the rider's more upright and higher position, which enables him to have a better overview and control over his surroundings.
It's a half-cycle just the right size, to go with it on longer distances. Although it is suitable for short transports, to work or school, we can easily take it with us on the bus or any other public transport, it can stand with us in a crowded elevator or skip the stairs to a nearby park.
Handmade frame made of light aluminum is just one of the quality materials and components that distinguish Halfbike. Even though we don't ride it like a regular bike, it seems like we'll get along easily. We navigate it with steering wheel, made of impregnated narrow plywood boards, at the end of which there is a handle and a brake, so we really have to let ourselves go and allow our body to guide us in the right direction with its movements.
