The bicycle, specially designed for urban cycling, is a perfect combination of durability and personalized aesthetics. Its use of environmentally friendly materials underscores a commitment to sustainable development.
Driven by the philosophy of “green riding”, the bicycle features a frame crafted from natural bamboo—a fast-growing, highly renewable resource with minimal environmental impact during cultivation and harvest. Compared with common materials on the market like carbon fiber, aluminum alloy, or steel pipe material, bamboo generates far fewer carbon emissions in the production process, helping to curb environmental pollution. Its high recyclability reduces resource waste, aligning with the current principle of ecological protection. After undergoing sanding, anti-corrosion treatment, and other processes, the bamboo exhibits outstanding toughness, ensuring long-term structural stability and offering a solid and reliable frame for urban cycling
The bicycle not only retains bamboo’s original color and nodal texture, enhancing both visual identity and natural beauty, but also offers a personalized touch to aesthetic design. Standardized frame and joint designs allow users to freely customize and assemble components to meet their riding preferences. Moreover, the joints come in various colors, including black, silver, and other metallic colors—allowing for further personalization to suit individual styles.
