7/4/2020 0 Comments BMX Bamboo BikeThis is a prototype and fully rideable. Ride on to all involved! Much appreciated for the past, present, and future support. We'll be testing this and seeing what we can learn from this build. The next build will be underway so stay tuned!
We are in the midst of testing this balance bike prototype for toddlers as early as age 2. The concept behind balance bikes is to teach balance first prior to pedaling. From the balance bike, the goal is to jump into a pedal bike afterwards without training wheels...
We hope to offer this soon but in the meantime we are creating an interest list; just by liking or commenting! Thanks to my kids who helped make this design possible- however unfortunately there is only one in our house as they often fight for it ;-). Time to make another one sooner than later! Oh mini skateboard not included, yet... but for the record my two year old son loves both of them - push or kick all day! Before I could lower my "kickstand" to register for the race, friendly and interested onlookers swarmed the bamboo fixed gear frame. The race was a 2 day racing event at the Portland International Raceway (PIR). Not only was the bamboo bike on display but I also had the opportunity to race it on both days.
I met Ahmed at Venice Beach while he was doing some unseen tricks on his BMX bike while drawing a crowd. He is well known in the BMX flatlander community and an active competitor. We are thrilled to have Ahmed as a pilot customer. As we know, bamboo is nearly indestructive and dampens vibrations so we are hoping this will only enhance Ahmed's performance.

We are looking to establish micro-manufacturers throughout the Philippines to make bamboo frames. Our mission is to make an impact in people's lives, one bike at a time.
