Invented by architects Martin Angelov and MihailKlenov from Arizona, the light and compact Halfbike combines running and cycling in a fun and exciting way by using pedal power to transport riders around town while standing up.

Successfully funded on Kickstarter in April, the Halfbike, features pedals like a bicycle that the user balances on leaning to either side, while holding on to a single waist-height handlebar in an upright stance.

The pedals are connected to a large front wheel by a chain that drives the Halfbike forward, while two smaller wheels at the back provide a stable base and a brake on the joystick-like handlebar is used to slow down.

Price: About £586, pre-order from Halfbikes
