An eco-friendly and solidarity-based bamboo e-bike
Hyboo Bike is a leader in bamboo conventional and electric bikes. The frame, mudguards, and some accessories are made of this plant material. Bamboo fiber has a superior vibration absorption capacity to aluminum and is as strong as carbon. The main stem of bamboo (the culm) is very hard and particularly resistant because it is rich in silicon. It is waterproof, UV-resistant, and very light. It also stands out for growing 30 times faster than wood and does not require fertilizers or other phytosanitary products to develop. The Hyboo’s connection parts come from innovative high-tech materials, and the bike equipped with its motorization is ultralight (15 kg). With its removable water bottle-shaped battery, it features an elegant and sleek design.
By using bio-sourced materials, Hyboo Bike contributes to reducing the carbon footprint, preserving resources, and recycling materials. The bike frame will be fully recyclable at the end of its life. It offers a real alternative to traditional metal bikes and promotes environmentally friendly urban mobility.
This bike benefits from the “made in France” label.
Hyboo Bike consists of 2 bike ranges: Hyboo Comfort (City Bike in sizes S, M, and L) and Hyboo Line (Gravel in sizes S, M, and L) designed and adapted for all users: urban dwellers, athletes, women and men in the city, or in the countryside.
