You may think Bugatti has done it all, with supercars like the Chiron in their portfolio, but now something even rarer than that has been launched by the manufacturer – a special bicycle named Bugatti Factor ONE.
It might not have an engine or doors, but it costs the same as a Toyota Corolla.
Yes, you read that correctly – the new Bugatti bicycle really does cost more than a regular family car in the United States.
Even more inexplicable is that this curious new vehicle is rarer than the fabled Chiron, making it something of a collector’s item.

This is the new Bugatti Bicycle
The Bugatti Factor ONE has been developed by the luxe automotive company and Factor Bikes, with extensive use of carbon fiber.
Bugatti Factor ONE aims to apply some of the company’s hypercar technology to two wheels.
Factor Bikes are well known for their elite bikes, hence the use of carbon fiber across them.
Both brands say it will be the fastest UCI-legal bicycle in the world.
However, if you do want one, you need two things.
First, you need plenty of money, as each one retails at $23,599.
Secondly, you need to act fast.
The companies say just 250 units will be made in total.
These will be very exclusive and collectible, and their value will likely rise as the years go on.
Should they sell quickly, it’s possible that future projects between the two companies could come to fruition.
Why is it the fastest bicycle ever made?
The two companies worked hard to make the bike as fast as humanly possible.
For starters, it has a widened fork shape, helping to improve airflow and reduce drag.
The cockpit is integrated into the frame for maximum efficiency.
It is an unconventional-looking bike, but it is an impressive thing.
Finished in a gorgeous French Racing Blue, it stands out from nearly every other bicycle available.
Other Bugatti design queues are on the bike, such as the two-tone split and the Bugatti Blue accents.
It even has a ‘Dancing Elephant’ emblem on it.
With so few units produced, it really will be rarer than the Bugatti Chiron supercar.
So if you pull up alongside a Chiron owner, you can claim to have something even rarer than their multi-million-dollar monster.
