Excellent Product Design in Bicycles and E-Bikes
The Smart Energy Bike is a DIY project which combines bamboo composite material with the latest bike technologies in a minimalistic and aesthetic frame design. Each material excels at its purpose. Bamboo for strength, vibration absorption and carbon for stiffness. Designed as a part of the 2017 RedBull “Drahtesel” competition celebrating the 200th anniversary of the invention of the bicycle, now every passionate rider can build this eye-catching and ultra-reliable bike themselves.
