This Electric Mountain Bike Is Made Out Of Recycled Nespresso Pods

Electric mobility is oftentimes linked to environmental preservation efforts as companies encourage users to shift from using internal-combustion vehicles to zero-emissions mobility solutions. On top of that, we’re seeing manufacturers make use of interesting techniques when it comes to the materials used to produce their products. This is especially true in the e-bike scene, where composites and alloys reign supreme.

Take, for example, the new Miloo Xplorer Beast. This powerful electric mountain bike is designed to deliver maximum performance both on and off road, and is made out of a fancy carbon fiber frame. However, the Swiss company recently collaborated with Nespresso to create a version of the Xplorer that isn’t made of carbon, but rather, recycled Nespresso capsules. Now, there’s no denying that Nespresso capsules aren’t the best thing for the environment, as every single cup of coffee you enjoy automatically necessitates waste in the form of the spent pod.
