Reducing the dependency on fossil fuels and metals has made industrial designers focus their attention on bikes and renewable wood. Merging the two needs has made designer T Scott design a bicycle with a wooden frame.
Dubbed Embira, the bicycle has been made from renewable materials that includes plywood for frame and recycled materials for handlebar, saddle and handle grips. The 3kg frame is made like a box where the walls are made from 4mm plywood, which is infused with PU foam for added strength.
The entire transformation process was accomplished without screws as it uses wood joinery and glue for the joints. With no breaks, the rider has to force the pedals in reverse to stop the bike.
