Switching to an electric bicycle is already a big step in reducing your commute’s carbon footprint. But buying one that’s made with plant fibers is taking sustainability even more seriously.
Hummingbird is trying to make waves within the e-bike industry with the Flax Folding Bike, an e-bike it claims is the “world’s first folding bike frame made entirely of flax plant fibers.” It’s even going so far as to call the e-bike the “most environmentally-friendly form of transport,” only behind walking. That’s a bold claim, but considering the Flax Folding Bike is both electric and made of sustainable materials, Hummingbird is making a very convincing case.
