I mean not necessarily. Road bikes pretty much never have any actual suspension, all the comfort comes from tire and frame flex. This bike has some fairly chunky tires on, and the way the seat post is just suspended off the back I’ll bet that frame flexes a ton.
That being said, you’d still have to fine tune the design, and get the right amount of flex in the right ways. I kinda doubt anyone choosing to make a bike like this would have the competency to do that
I wonder how many revolutions the wheels will do before they bend into pretzels.
Also the pedals driving the outside of the back wheel puts a pretty heavy limit on the gear ratio
Yeah no part of that looks fun to pedal
No springs or shocks means however many it takes, it will be the most painful ass-blasting ride until they do.

Bet the part that drives the backwheel will handle the suspension just fine…
Id put my money on the wheel mount failing because the whole wheel turns into a lever trying to break it every time it hits a bump.
Not revolutions; potholes.
Could be a very rigid inner circle with an outer circle of rubber rotating around it.
