klenov and Angelov are the founders of Kolelinia and both have architectural and cycling backgrounds. They designed the 3 wheeled halfbike for easy maneuverability and easily fit for public transit. This Halfbike has pivoting wheels and lets the rider steer by leaning.

The compact design measures out at 100 x 40 x 130 cm, which is 40 x 16 x 51 in.  It has aluminum frame and plywood pool steering weighing 7.8 kg becomes 17 pounds. this design lacks a seat making you engage your leg muscles by staying up straight and leaning forward. this makes it a continuos workout.

Halfbike is trying a kickstarter to raise funds to promote the bike. They are trying to raise up to $80,000 to manufacture the product and sell the bike for $800 each. If everything goes well they are trying to start selling them in june or july on a first come first serve basis.
