The Revive didn't seem to fit
a good niche for actual bike users. It wasn't selling well (at least in
that shop). It is slow. It isn't the type of bike you'd ride if you rode
a lot, yet the price point is high for the occasional cyclist.
I think it still might be a nice option for the OP who I doubt is worried
about extreme speed, just nice tootlin' ability--something I fully
understand. For a day to day commuter, I'd personally go for the Breezer,
but if I was strapping my bike to the back of an RV and using it around
the campground and such, the Revive might be just the ticket, especially
considering the OP's special needs. Plus, it's fairly wild looking, which
is a great conversation starter compared to a bog standard beach cruiser.
Anything that gets ya pedaling is a good thing.
