It's always entertaining when some bod tries to re-invent the bike, or something close to it.
Seen the "Half Bike"?
It's not though is it... it's a tricycle:
To be fair, they do refer to it as a "stand-up tricycle" 🙂
It's not reinventing the bike per se, more an alternative to a Brompton, segway, or a scooter. Looks like it should fold quickly, so useful for commuters who don't have to pedal far or niche-mongers I guess.

They always show those sorts of bodgy bikes weaving along on the flat, never going downhill fats, or climbing.
That looks like it might work uphill, but I reckon keeping weight distribution right would be an acquired skill.
I'd like to see that used on the footpaths/roads over here..... Straight otb comedy moments.
Is it made by Halfords?
Half-bike is the slang term tandemista use to refer to bikes with less than the normal (2) number of saddles
