Given the fact that electric bikes and other small lightweight electric vehicles have been constantly greenwashed over the past few years, it’s nice to see electric mobility companies actually focusing on sustainability. One such brand is Advanced Bikes, based out of Frankfurt, Germany. The company prides itself in having an eye towards the future, centering on sustainability and longevity.
Advanced Bikes has introduced the Reco Wave electric bicycle, their latest model that has the potential to redefine sustainability. What sets this bicycle apart is its construction using a distinctive material known as injection molded carbon composite, a blend of plastic and carbon. The company claims that this material is fully recyclable, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious individuals. Currently, the frames are the only components made from this material, but Advanced Bikes aims to expand its usage to other parts like handlebars, seatposts, luggage racks, and rims in the future.
