Seth Alvo, a notable YouTube bike reviewer, harshly critiques the Reevo Hubless eBike in his recent video, branding it a "death trap" and touting it as the "world's worst eBike". Originally funded by Beno Technologies through Indiegogo, the bike gained attention for its unique hubless wheel design but fell short on delivery commitments. Alvo's video not only dismantles the bike but explores its mechanical flaws, including a problematic chain reaction that activates the eBike’s pedal assist unexpectedly. His findings provoke a broader discussion about the bike's disappointing performance and the company's failure to meet customer expectations.
So now that we have it all apart and we're in here, we can talk about my greatest discovery, the chain reaction that happens when you start rolling the bike. It just starts moving the cranks, and then moving the cranks engages the pedal assist, which turns the wheel.
Beno Technologies raised $6.7 million in 2020 on Indiegogo for its Reevo Hubless Bicycle, claiming they delivered 1,888 bikes, but Alvo disputes this, stating only 150 bikes were actually delivered.
