Bulgaria start-up Kolelinia – founded by
architects Martin Angelov and Mihail Klenov
– introduce the Halfbike II, a stand-up vehicle
that stimulates your natural instinct to move.
When designing the vehicle, they took the
fundamental driving mechanism of a classic
bicycle (a wheel connected to a crank set)
and then basically redesigned the s*** out
everything else! The result? ‘A vehicle that
trains your balance and reflexes in a different
way. Not only on a physical level but it also
affects the way you perceive movement and
enhances your senses.’ (Kolelinia)
Sporting three wheels, the Halfbike comes in
at just over 1 metre long and 1 metre high,
weighs 8.2 kg, can be folded in half, and has
an aluminium frame with handlebars made
from treated plywood. This new ride is available
now for purchase on Kickstarter – the global
crowdfunding platform that Kolelinia used to
raise funds and bring their idea to life – while
shipping begins in July on a first-come, firstserve basis.
