Diodra, a Romania-based bicycle company, claims its forthcoming S3 e-bike, which is built on a laminated bamboo frame, is the world’s lightest e-bike. Although it may not be the lightest e-bike overall, it is likely the lightest bamboo e-bike.
Diodra , a Romania-based bicycle company, claims its forthcoming S3 e-bike, which is built on a laminated bamboo frame, is the world’s lightest e-bike. However, even at a weight of just 15 kilograms , the S3 may not actually be the world’s lightest e-bike, but it’s most likely to be the world’s lightest bamboo e-bike, which is still an accomplishment, and I’d wager that it’s one of the best looking bamboo bikes as well.
The early versions of bamboo bikes were mostly using ‘raw’ bamboo as-is for the tubes comprising the frame, and were either lashed together and epoxied with no metal joining them, or the bamboo tubes were inserted into steel joints to form the frame. That seemed to yield strong and flexible bikes, but when compared with a conventional bike frame, most of them had that DIY arts and crafts look to them, which is not for everybody.
The Diodra S3 features a 250W rear hub motor that will help propel it to a top pedal-assist speed of 25 km/h in the EU and 20 mph in the US, and incorporates front and rear disc brakes for stopping power. The cables are routed through the frame for a very clean look, and the frame itself integrates adjustable dropouts, which Diodra says allows riders to acheive “perfect chain tension, seamless belt drive compatibility, and precise brake alignment.
The S3 is currently being offered as a pre-order for €2,199, which is €700 off the full price, and the company aims to have the first models delivered in about 3 months. Diodra also offers the same frame without an electric motor, named the M8, which features an 8-speed internal gear hub and which is currently available for pre-order for €1,599. An optional upgrade to a Gates carbon belt drive is available for an additional €200.
