Bamboo is all the rage in the bike world, and it’s been a vital part of life in China since time began. Surprisingly, the streets of Shanghai aren’t already teeming with bamboo trikes, but maybe that’s about to change. According to People’s Bike:
The frame is custom designed by Chris Trees himself (an engineer from England), and was hand built here in Shanghai. The body work was also designed by Chris, and hand crafted out of the finest bamboo China has to offer.
The tricycle features 4 disc brakes, 8 gears, and can hold 2 regular sized people – or maybe 3 smaller people. There’s a windshield, a removable canopy, and the bike passed it’s rain test with flying colours. Chris also plans on building a cargo version, so stay tuned for that.

Bamboo is a symbolic of class. This design looks great and environment friendly. Any idea how much it will cost?

I live in Jinqiao in Pudong and would be interested in learning more about the bamboo tricycle. I would love to get one for my wife, who can’t ride a bike. Price? Delivery?
