Halfbike, twice the fun

{{cta-cycling}}

Halfbike wants to bring fun to the way we travel with its leanable upright trike, a vehicle they believe will “awaken your natural instinct to move”

It’s certainly different; a high-quality toy for grown-ups. According to Halfbike, the standing position 'brings you closer to natural walking and you control the vehicle with your whole body, not just your hands. A vehicle that trains your balance and reflexes in a new way. Not only on a physical level but it also affects the way you perceive movement and enhances your senses.' There's no doubt it looks like a lot of fun to ride.

Each Halfbike is assembled by hand from laser cut aluminium and high quality water-resistant birch plywood.

Like all the best toys, the Halfbike is designed to share. Using the space between the rear wheels as a platform allows a passenger to ride along.

Environmentally friendly cycle insurance

On the face of it, one cycle insurance policy is much like another, but the devil is the detail. Many insurers refer to ‘new-for-old’ replacement, but if your bicycle is more than a few years old, devalue it severely. This means you are left out of pocket when you come to replace it. Read our insider guide to cycle insurance.

ETA cycle insurance has a low standard excess of 5% (minimum £25) and offers a new-for-old for life – however old the bike, if it’s stolen you get enough to buy a new model.

For 25 years we have been providing straightforward, affordable bicycle insurance. Whether you use your bike to commute, shop, race or amble in the park, ETA Cycle Insurance has you covered. We never devalue bikes no matter their age, allow you to buy your replacement bike wherever you like, replace stolen quick release components and handle claims in-house.
