Lightweight & Comfortable 

Bamboo is a unique alternative to traditional bicycle frames. It is far lighter than steel, more comfortable than aluminium and cheaper than carbon fibre. Bamboo has a higher specific tensile strength than steel and a higher specific compressive strength than concrete. This means it’s strong enough to carry loads like shopping or camping equipment but has good vibration control for a smooth ride and good stability. Our customers report great handling and have taken the bikes over mountain ranges, crossed continents and have competed in international road races. 

A More Sustainable Choice

Our customers are aware of the impact their choices have on the environment. Bamboo grows fast - it reaches maturity in two months and is easily replanted. The plants consume CO2 and emit oxygen helping battle climate change. Our manual farming process needs no harmful fertilisers and is incomparable to the energy-intensive manufacturing process behind a steel, aluminium or carbon fibre frame. We use plant-based eco-resin epoxy and local sisal fiber for strong, durable joints. What’s more, you’re showing a new generation that there are more sustainable ways to make everyday products. 

Social Impact

The sale of every Booomers bike helps young people in rural Ghana develop skills and an income that will set them up for the future. Our employees receive a decent wage, social security, lunch and health care benefits and we indirectly support 200 farmers across the region. Through our foundation we have gifted 150 bamboo bicycles to local schools in partnership with UNICEF, support 400 school children through scholarships and fund libraries and computer labs across the region.
