MSSpotlight Environment and Sustainability: Creative electric bike using bamboo body shell pushed
A Filipino-designed electric bike brand-named “Banatti” that uses innovative, environmentally sustainable bamboo is seen to elevate the Philippines’ status as a globally known producer of world-class bamboo products.
The team that developed Banatti Green Falcon chose to use bamboo as “it is the mandate of the country.” “If you analyze, kawayan is not like other plants as jatropha that government once asked us to grow. We have taken kawayan. You see it in every barangay, but no one plants,” Savellano said. “That’s why we’re fighting for kawayan. It’s not that we don’t want other plants. But let’s prioritize kawayan because planting it brings results.”
Its body shell made of bamboo may just be worth P5,000. But using bamboo in sophisticated, industrial products can bring about tremendous multiplier effect on the economy. An advantage of bamboo body shell to complement an electric motorcycle as in Banatti is it can install a good sound system that can enable one to hear music very well, unlike gasoline-run ones.
