| This e-bike, minus the electric parts, a few screws and the front tire, is made entirely of recycled materials. The acrylic is something I found in the basement and turned into the casing, the bicycle itself is second hand as well as the rack and radio. The FWD nature of the hub motor makes the bike a 2x2 (4x4 but on only two wheels) so the off road capabilities are absolutely astonishing! | |||
