This unusual vehicle comes from the Philippine company Meep (Modular Energy Efficient Portage) and its sub-brand Banatti. For the development and design of the so-called “The Green Falcon” company CEO Christopher Paris Lacson is responsible. The special thing about the Falcon is obviously the cladding, which is made of bamboo. The seat is made of leather. The components made from bamboo should weigh a total of approx. 7 kilograms. When it comes to optics, Lacson is based on the Cafe Racers from the 1960s.

Range still expandable

Unsurprisingly, the maker opted for an electric drive for the motorization. Christopher Paris Lacson also commented on some of the key technical data of the drive. The engine should actually reach a maximum speed of 110 km / h.

The components, which were made from bamboo, should weigh just under seven kilograms.

According to their own statements, the developers decided to reduce the speed to a maximum of 60 km / h for economic reasons. On the one hand, this means that significantly cheaper and less high-performance wear parts are necessary. There is also a speed limit of 60 km / h in Filipino cities. Last but not least, it takes too long for the engine to reach the top speed of 110 km / h. In return, a range between 50 and 60 kilometers should jump out. For the battery, the company relies on a 48-volt lithium-ion battery that should be recharged in three to four hours. On the other hand, Lacson did not comment on other key data such as the brakes or the total weight, which is not particularly surprising in the case of a prototype.

Built for the environment

One or the other might ask why Meep uses bamboo as a building material. The answer comes from the company’s CEO. According to Christopher Paris Lacson, the Philippine government plans to plant a total of 1 million hectares of bamboo over the next three years. By 2020, the company wants to find ways to develop an extremely stable and resilient material from bamboo. As a composite material, bamboo should be able to achieve the strength of steel.

the “Green Falcon” is one of the first bamboo projects that Meep implemented. At the Manila Fame Show last October, the bamboo motorcycle appeared in the so-called “Bamboo Extreme Program” against other innovative developments made from bamboo and celebrated its premiere there. In developing the “green falcon” According to his own statements, it was more about researching new and urban modes of transport that were built with local and future-oriented resources. Whether such a bike will ever be produced is therefore in the stars.
