The above product makes use of bamboo as against plastic, aluminium or other metals. Firstly as against plastic, aluminium or other metals, bamboo is biodegradable. The product reduces the carbon footprint for the part where plastic, aluminium or other metals are not used.
Other Environmental advantages of using bamboo are as follows:
• As bamboo is a grass it can mature in 60 to 180 days and minimizes CO2 gasses and generates up to 35% more oxygen than equivalent stand of trees.
• It not only cleans the air but does miracles for the soil and groundwater as well.
• Bamboo helps reduce water pollution due to its high nitrogen consumption.
• It has a widespread root system as well as an enveloping canopy that makes it a great water barrier to control soil erosion.
• Keeps twice so much water in the watershed
• Protects surrounding environment during cyclones due to its height
• Minimizes CO2 gasses (sequesters up to 12 tons of CO2 from the air per hectare)
• Bamboo needs less water and chemicals for irrigation.
• Bamboo can help combat climate change because the use of bamboo as a building material saves more hardwood trees from logging. Description

E-bamboo Bikes - Technology seldom supports the preservation of environment. But, here’s an e-cycle you can recycle. eBamboochi, an electrically powered cycle made out of bamboo. These electrically powered cycles are a trend globally. It is with electric peddle assist kit fitted with a battery, hub motor and control panel with associated wiring. On one charge, it gives approximately 70 km of run in city conditions. Electric kit comes with three-year warranty.

The bamboo frame absorbs shocks and vibrations so well, it feels like riding an ergonomically designed, sustainable poetry in motion.
Bamboo cycles: The frame of the bike is made from a specific species of bamboo that is known for being light and incredibly strong. It is stronger and lighter than most alloy steels. Our frames are joined using either carbon fibre or hemp, treated with an epoxy-resin. Bamboo has been used for hundreds of years as a structural material for houses and is commonly used for scaffolding.
Ridiculously good looks - We think that riding a bike made from natural resource like bamboo doubles your eco-consciousness. Perhaps, one of the best qualities of our bikes is the smooth ride quality. Bamboo, with its dense cellulose structure actually dampens road vibration and is noticeably smoother on the road than bikes made from the usual materials (steel, aluminium, and some carbon bikes ).
Making of frame: The bamboo is specifically selected, heat-treated and joined using extremely strong natural fibres or synthetic material combined with an epoxy-resin. The frame is a sealed system using a combination of polyurethanes and varnishes that are designed to withstand extremely harsh environments. How much does a
