Part 4/7:
Users expect e-bikes to offer both assistance and ease of maneuverability, yet the REVO seemed to excel in neither regard. Commenting on its heft likened the bike to “Thor’s hammer”; the burden of its weight not only compromised usability but raised serious safety concerns. In emergencies, where quick stops are vital, the REVO's braking system underperformed alarmingly.
The marketing promised vast improvements in handling and versatility; however, many who finally received their REVOs reported it was more akin to “cycling on Ultra nightmare mode.” The bike's inability to glide or effectively maneuver highlighted a fundamental flaw in its engineering—one that should have been caught well before launching a $6.7 million campaign.
