Designed and meticulously handcrafted by a company with over 7 years of experience in building bamboo bicycle frames (having produced over 3,000 frames), the Bamboo EasyRider stands out as an exotic and eco-friendly option. Its frame was specifically tailored for city commuting and light trail riding, making it ideal for urban adventures. The heart of this eBike lies in its hi-torque 750W Bafang mid-drive motor, which is coupled with a long-range 921 WH lithium-ion battery mounted on the downtube. Durability testing ensures that the Bamboo EasyRider can handle speeds of up to 28 mph. To maintain the integrity of the treated and furniture-finished bamboo frame, all cabling and wiring are strategically mounted externally for optimal performance and easy repair.
