Halfbike

[Mad Scientist]

Why is everyone trying to reinvent the bicycle? This thing looks dangerous...

Over half of their $80,000 goal... shouldn't that build half a bike?

Ba-zing!

I admit, I like the idea... Not so much the rear steering though.
Still, I would love to try one...

This is the stupidest thing Ive seen in a looong time. Looks like a monkey humping a hockey stick.

I'll sell you my home made one for half the price.

Love the avatar mad scientist!
I don't know if they are re-inventing the bicycle, or skateboard???
And this has already been done, see; run bikes.
More dangerous than wiping with a swiss army knife!

Yes, been done quite a bit. https://www.google.com/search?site=...0.0....0...1ac.1.38.img..0.10.997.8-r0oYQfy8c

The thing is, I betnone of the earlier versions required $80grand to design and build.

I wonder what happens when you get on the brake too hard.

It looks exhausting.

My legs and shoulders hurt just watching the guy.

Here in Alabama we call that a trike.

Maybe for a more clever name, it could be called a One & a Halfbike, a Bike & a Half, or even a Wholetrike.

Seems to me that anyone with a welder could build one.

Reminds me of this Fairdale R&D video

It might be a cool novelty bike if they sold them at Walmart for $75. Nothing more than that though.

Like a Segway, without the pesky balance and safety factors!
