The eco-conscious trend in the cycling industry has a surprising player: Bamboo Bicycle Club. While most brands are zeroing in on high-tech materials, this company is embracing nature’s wonder: bamboo. But what sets them apart isn’t just their choice of material—it’s their business model.
The DIY e-bike is a whole new experience in the developing industry.
Rather than selling you an e-bike, Bamboo Bicycle Club sells you an experience. When you visit their website, you’re not simply scrolling through ready-made bikes. Instead, you’re given the keys to design your own ride. Pick from various frame shapes, component sets, and even add an electric motor if you fancy. This DIY approach saves you bucks and cuts down shipping costs for the company, making it a win-win.
The company’s recent foray into the last-mile delivery scene is truly noteworthy. Urban delivery is gradually embracing electric cargo bikes for their efficiency and Bamboo Bicycle Club’s e-cargo bike is stepping into this space with a trifecta of virtues: versatility, configurability, and above all, sustainability. Crafted from Guadua bamboo, flax, and recycled aluminum, the e-cargo bike minimizes its environmental impact. Don’t let the natural materials fool you—these bikes can carry up to 250 kilograms and their natural vibration absorption means smoother, safer rides for your cargo.
Flat-packed and easy to assemble, these e-cargo bikes underline the brand’s commitment to sustainable and cost-effective solutions. And this isn’t just a business; it’s a mission. The company extends its bamboo wisdom to Africa, running workshops in Kenya, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. Here, locals aren’t just taught how to ride bikes; they’re taught how to build these electric vehicles.
