Part 3/7:
Design and Functionality: A Critical Examination
A recent video by Burm Peak revisited the REVO, and the results were shockingly unflattering. Touted by the creator as “the worst bicycle ever made,” the review outlined severe flaws that plummet the bike’s design into the realm of the absurd.
For starters, the hubless design—marketed as a revolutionary approach—failed basic functionality. It was noted that the bike was not just difficult to pedal but also excessively heavy. Instead of the anticipated lightweight experience, the REVO weighed a staggering 70 pounds, making it cumbersome for everyday use.
