Reevo Hubless Bicycle: A Critical Review of a Failed Crowdfunding Project
0:00:05 Introduction: The Reevo Hubless Bicycle is a rare, futuristic e-bike that raised over $6.7 million on Indiegogo before the company vanished.
0:00:29 Delivery: Of the 2,700 people who ordered, approximately only 150 received their bikes.
0:00:58 Hubless Design Issues: The hubless design, while visually striking, introduces significant problems: increased resistance, noise, and lack of serviceability.
0:02:42 Spokes and hub: Regular bikes use spokes and hubs, which are extremely reliable. Modern hubs can be inexpensive.
0:03:08 No Parts: Parts are unavailable for the Reevo, since there are no other hubless wheels, and the company went out of business.
0:03:38 Weight: The Reevo is exceptionally heavy (reportedly over 70 pounds), despite marketing claims of a "lightweight core."
0:04:05 App and Features: The companion app, which still exists, promised features like GPS tracking (via a SIM card slot) and a fingerprint scanner for security.
0:04:45 App Connectivity Problems: The presenter was unable to pair the bike with the app, rendering many advertised features unusable.
0:04:56 Smartphone Dependency: The Reevo relies on a smartphone for basic information (battery level, assist mode) instead of having a built-in display.
0:05:20 Poor Braking Performance: The bike's caliper brakes are inadequate for its weight and potential speed, making stopping difficult and dangerous.
0:06:31 Inefficient Drivetrain: The enclosed drivetrain is inefficient, making pedaling difficult without electric assist.
0:07:10 Poor E-Bike Performance: The electric assist is unreliable, and the bike experienced a significant mechanical failure after a minor bump.
0:08:25 Positive Features (Despite Problems): The bike includes turn signals, brake lights, and the ability to mount stationary accessories on the hubless wheels (like custom storage bags).
0:09:18 Airless Tires: The bike has airless tires, which are a positive in that they don't need to be inflated, but a negative if they need replacing.
0:09:59 Kickstand: The "invisible kickstand" is stylish but has design flaws, potentially binding up if engaged while the bike is in motion. It is supposed to lock the wheel when engaged.
0:11:04 Suspension: They added a suspension seat, but it is low quality.
0:11:31 USB Charging Port: A built-in USB port for charging devices is a useful feature, although it's USB-A instead of USB-C.
0:11:51 Styling: The bike's unique, hubless design is visually striking and attracts attention.
0:12:15 Dangerous "Runaway" Issue: When pushed, the pedals move, potentially engaging the pedal assist and causing the bike to accelerate uncontrollably. The presenter was not able to switch it off.
0:13:40 Public Reaction: Passersby were intrigued by the bike's appearance, often asking about its speed.
0:13:47 Crowdfunding Failure: The presenter argues that the project wasn't a deliberate scam, but rather a case of overambition, poor execution, and ultimately, unethical behavior by abandoning backers.
0:14:59 Prototype Quality: The Reevo feels like an unfinished prototype that should have undergone further development and refinement before being released.
0:17:09 Beno: The video concludes by showing tape placed over the parent company's name "Beno," indicating that they knew the project was going badly.
0:16:01 "Worst Bicycle Ever Made?": The presenter concludes that, based on the numerous issues, the Reevo might be the "worst bicycle ever made." Key problems include its weight, noise, unreliability, lack of serviceability, and dangerous "runaway" behavior.
0:16:54 Collector's Item: Despite all its issues, it might be the ultimate collector's bike.
