Because wood and carbon cores are the basic elements of the design, and because we put all our love for accuracy and our SOUL to realize every single Bike!

The wooden bike concept originated from an idea: why not exploiting experience on the composites processing and application to realize something new and appealing?

The original idea triggered our interest and curiosity to deepen our knowledge, pushing us to collect as many info as possible on available solutions; and yet, we finally realized that we could design something different than the “ traditional “wooden bike”: the design of a bike leveraging on the carbon material treatment capability mixed with the advantages offered by use of the wooden veneer.

Materials

Wood selection possible by end-Customer; mainly types in use are : Ash, Mahogany, Maple, Teak, Beech.

We deal with laminated, light thickness wood, interspersed with differently rolled fabric Carbon (unidirectional, biaxial, quadraxial ) and epoxy resin treatment, depending on the final flexibility to obtain. Final robustness is significantly better.
All our bicycles can be integrated with the electric motor positioned at the rear hub and this solution gives the bicycle a clean and elegant line.

The batteries are placed under the saddle in a convenient case.
