it is. I have recently driven a MyBoo bike over old and bumpy cobblestones and the experience was even smoother than with a bike with full suspension. My next bike will be a bamboo bike!
3-5 years, then you're on autopilot if you have a good farm. Oddly enough; there aren't many bamboo farms in the US. I'm just researching and found only two that are recent.
I mean a carbon , steel or aluminum frame takes a lot lot more toll on planet as compared to wooden ones so no guilt about that and u can even grow wood or bamboo tree after chopping it down ❤
Bamboo bikes have been made for centuries in Asia From push carts to trolleys they have been using bamboo for many centuries, this a road bike so it’s not the same but the concept was already there.
Carbon fiber is not a good material to use for that since they have different expanding and contracting rates. Caltree found this out the hard way, and then moved to a natural fiber that had a more similar E&C rates. You probably would get away with glass fiber as it has a little more stretch/give than carbon fiber.
@@biketheperson6919 Hemp is alright, but fiberglass is MUCH stronger, and a semi natural material. But hemp is definitely more eco all in all. Flax linen and hemp are quite similar in properties btw, so if you have a Joann's near (fabric and crafts store) and need some quick fabric, they often have coupons going on.
holaaa! tengo que hacer una investigacion sobre las bicis de bambu , me gustaria saber la maquinaria que se necesita para armar el cuadro de la bici! desde ya gracias
Beautiful design and materials. But those carbon fibers, to strengthen the joints should not be sanded with bare hands. I did that some times out of lazynes and my fingers just start itching for days when seeing it here :D

I like the idea. Something tells me that with the bamboo there is just enough flex in the frame to smooth out small bumps and holes.

People can’t get mad about de foresttion because the bamboo grows faster then they can cut it
Several feet a day.

Indeed.

This man had a vision focused and executed it....good fr him....congrats

What is the thread and the adhesive he used for binding two bamboos together?

@@justinw1765 Apparently hemp fibre is a good option, it has very similar E&C rates to bamboo. I'll be using it on my bamboo bike.

Nice...very nice. What about shock absorbers?
Which bamboo species is being used?
Is that carbon fiber rope for "welding" the bamboo?
yes
Yeah or wood straws
Fantastic.
Muy buena idea

Di indonesia juga buat sepeda bambu, in indonesia also make bamboo bike too
Dimana mbak.bisa belikah
where can i get a blueprint
The geometry of the test ride bike looks so bad to ride
Great
Keren banget bro
Now that's a bike worth riding does it come in bmx?

अगर एक बंबू साइकिल की सही से चलाएंगे तो कितने साल तक चलेगी ये??
A lot of money is required to make this bicycle if you don't have the workshop . May cost more than a market bicycle
Only the frame can be made with Bamboo
Bamboo bikes are being manufactured in Ghana for many years now as well

NO THIS BIKE IS FROM PHILLIPINES COPIED ANY COUNTRY
Bro many countries are manufacturing bamboo bikes and yet here in the Philippines we lack the capabilities to mass manufacture it.
Lmaoo
Bamboo just isn’t very strong...
What material do you recommend?
bamboo is used as scaffolding fro skyscrapers in many countries in asia
IniLagi YT Aliminum, steel, carbon fiber
Ok, so you need to go look up the engineering properties of bamboo critically think about what you just said.
@Cane David ya, except the reason they are temp scaffolding is mostly because of the lashings used to hold it together.
We’re coming for you. For showing how to remove a statue.
