It’s both one of the world’s strangest bicycles and astonishingly popular on Kickstarter: Halfbike II by Kolelinia has raised $973,764 on a $50,000 goal.
Halfbike II looks like an odd crossover between a unicycle and a skateboard and is ridden standing. Riders turn by using their weight and leaning one way or another. The experience, illustrated in videos of people jumping obstacles and performing acrobatics with the contraption, is something in-between skiing, biking, and skateboarding. The bike is also foldable and weighs less than 18 lbs, to make it more transportable.
