Since when is a tricycle a halfbike?

Or maybe they meant "halfbake(d)"?

Claimed weight of 19.5 lbs and new state-of-the-art hub by Sturmey Archer. Um, OK.

And I like their bit about the brakes:

The Halfbike can now stop on a dime and this is a fact! The new integrated drum brakes are pretty much maintenance free and the performance will stay consistent with time, and in all weather conditions.

The center of gravity of that thing is so high and so close to the front axle, that braking hard is just asking for a face plant. In fact, if this were classified as a Bicycle, it would certainly be illegal in those states which require minimum braking distances (like Massachusetts).
