Naturally strong and also incredibly sustainable
Structural strength superior to steel
Bamboo is not only visually appealing, it is also extraordinarily strong. Its fibers can withstand loads of up to 40 kN/cm², surpassing even industrial steel (up to 37 kN/cm²). This natural structural strength makes it ideal for demanding uses such as handcrafted bamboo bike frames and forks.
In addition to being a renewable resource, its mechanical performance allows the creation of durable, lightweight, and sustainable bikes, suitable for eco-friendly urban mobility.
Reliable and tested bicycles
Our bicycles have undergone rigorous structural resistance tests (impact, load, and intensive use) conducted by the INTI (National Institute of Industrial Technology) in Argentina, an institution recognized by the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification (AENOR).
These tests have evaluated the real behavior of our bamboo frames and fiber joints under extreme stress, ensuring their reliability in urban and daily use contexts.
Each bicycle is unique: natural texture and soul
No bamboo cane is the same as another. That’s why each bicycle we build is unique: its texture, grain, and natural tones make each piece a one-of-a-kind work of art. What we deliver is not just an eco-friendly means of transport, but a handcrafted bicycle with its own identity, designed and assembled with care.
A conscious choice for those who value authenticity and sustainability.
Lightness without compromising safety
Thanks to its tubular structure and continuous fiber composition, bamboo offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It is light, strong, and flexible, making it an ideal solution for bicycles that require a balance of agility, safety, and performance. This natural lightness improves the user experience without compromising stability, making bamboo the perfect material for sustainable urban bicycles.
Natural comfort: absorbs vibrations, reduces fatigue
The natural flexibility of bamboo allows it to effectively absorb ground vibrations, reducing the impact on the rider’s body. This results in smoother rides, less fatigue, and a much more comfortable riding experience, even on uneven surfaces or long journeys.
Handcrafted bamboo bicycles offer exceptional comfort that enhances both the user’s well-being and their commitment to active and environmentally respectful mobility.
Positive environmental impact: clean and regenerative cultivation
Unlike steel, aluminum or carbon fiber, bamboo is a natural, ecological, and regenerative material. Its cultivation does not require extraction processes or chemicals, uses very little water, and helps regenerate degraded soil.
Moreover, it absorbs up to 35% more CO2 than other plants, making it a key option for reducing the climate impact of bicycle production. Choosing bamboo is a decision in favor of the planet.
Fast-growing, renewable, and local bamboo
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world: some varieties can reach up to 20 meters per year. At Etika Bikes, we use locally grown bamboo from Catalonia, which helps us reduce the carbon footprint associated with transport and promote a local economy.
This local approach reinforces our commitment to responsible and sustainable production in every bike we make.
Up to 90% less energy in manufacturing
Manufacturing a bamboo bicycle requires up to 90% less energy than producing a bicycle with industrial materials such as steel or aluminum. This energy saving makes bamboo a strategic material for truly sustainable mobility.
From extraction to final assembly, every step of the process is cleaner, more efficient, and environmentally respectful.
Each bicycle we make is unique, with its own texture, personality, and character
