As the embodiment of green and sustainable philosophy, practicality, and personalized aesthetics, the bicycle delivers a whole new experience for urban bicyclers.
Driven by the philosophy of “green riding”, the bicycle features a frame crafted from natural bamboo—a fast-growing, highly renewable resource with minimal environmental impact during cultivation and harvest. Compared with traditional materials like carbon fiber, aluminum alloy, or steel pipe material, bamboo generates far fewer carbon emissions in the production process, helping to curb environmental pollution. Its recyclable nature aligns with the “low-carbon and renewable” philosophy, further protecting the ecosystem and responding to the public’s expectation for sustainable products. To ensure structural integrity, only high-toughness bamboo is selected for the frame. The bamboo is then sanded, treated for anti-corrosion and air dried. Once shaped and set, it undergoes further processing. This process ensures that the final product is water-resistant, sunproof, and durable—ideal for short-distance urban commuting.
With an emphasis on eco-friendliness, the bicycle also offers a personalized touch in its aesthetic design. The frame retains bamboo’s original color and nodal texture, enhancing both visual identity and natural beauty. Standardized frame and joint designs allow users to freely customize and assemble components to meet their riding preferences. The joints come in various colors, including black, silver, and other metallic colors—allowing for further personalization to suit individual styles.
