It’s often said that you never forget how to ride a bike. Riding a bicycle is sometimes the first thing that people can remember. Many people started riding bicycles when they were learning to walk and run. Moreover, riding a bicycle is something that people often do their entire lives.
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to continue riding bikes due to the hunched position that the body must maintain to keep riding. Bicycles can also be difficult to transport depending on your means of transportation. Halfbike set out to create a new cycling experience with the solutions to these issues.
What is a Halfbike?
The Halfbike is essentially a mix between cycling and running in one new piece of sporting equipment. It was invented with the idea that less is more, and that consumers were searching for a mode of transportation that would be easier to use, easier to transport, and easier to maintain.
It’s a completely unique sport; there’s never been another standing bike like the Halfbike in history. The design, letting the user stand while biking, allows for the user to get a low-impact workout while still getting to their destination quickly and safely.
Halfbike Features
Each and every Halfbike is handcrafted for the user that it will be sent to. It is ultra-compact, as it is extremely light and is foldable. You can place it in the tiniest trunks and lockers. You can also easily take it onto any form of public transportation.
Halfbike-Foldable-Go-Anywhere
Halfbike can follow you anywhere, it is light, compact and foldable.
The frame is laser-cut by hand and made of aluminum, allowing for the bike to be both tough and sturdy while being light. It only weighs 19 pounds, so it’s extremely easy to move around.
To fully understand the features of the bike, you really need to go out there and get a test ride. Luckily, there are ambassadors all over the world that work with Halfbike to let users get test rides. You can check if there’s any near you at https://halfbikes.com/playground.

Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a new, easy way of transportation that will help you stay fit while being low impact, look no further. The Halfbike allows for the body to remain upright which helps with circulation and breathing, and it is extremely simple to transport, which means you can bring it anywhere. Check if there’s any near you and give it a try; you won’t regret it.
Startup
A startup or start-up is a company or project undertaken by an entrepreneur to seek, develop, and validate a scalable business model. While entrepreneurship refers to all new businesses, including self-employment and businesses that never intend to become registered, startups refer to new businesses that intend to grow large beyond the solo founder. At the beginning, startups face high uncertainty and have high rates of failure, but a minority of them do go on to be successful and influential. Some startups become unicorns; that is privately held startup companies valued at over US$1 billion.
Actions
Startups typically begin by a founder (solo-founder) or co-founders who have a way to solve a problem. The founder of a startup will begin market validation by problem interview, solution interview, and building a minimum viable product (MVP), i.e. a prototype, to develop and validate their business models. The startup process can take a long period of time (by some estimates, three years or longer), and hence sustaining effort is required. Over the long term, sustaining effort is especially challenging because of the high failure rates and uncertain outcomes. Having a business plan in place outlines what to do and how to plan and achieve an idea in the future. Typically, these plans outline the first 3 to 5 years of your business strategy.
Design principles
Models behind startups presenting as ventures are usually associated with design science. Design science uses design principles considered to be a coherent set of normative ideas and propositions to design and construct the company's backbone. For example, one of the initial design principles is "affordable loss".
