BEAMZ Trust CIC
Using Nature's Engineering To Build Wooden Bikes BEAMZ have developed a new, sustainable, engineering process to make high-performance wooden bikes that are strong, lightweight and look amazing. The bike’s lightweight strength comes from a frame built with hollowed out wooden poles. These poles give mechanical properties that match or exceed the structural performance of metal. The amazing looks come from the debarking process, which is unique to BEAMZ, and preserves the organic shape and characteristics of the under-bark texture. As you can imagine the environmental and wellbeing benefits from producing wooden bikes are many and there are more details on the website. However, the top takeaway is that each bike stops 48kg of CO2 entering the atmosphere. The wood captures 6kg of CO2 and the remaining 42kg comes from not producing the metal for the frame. The Next Stage For BEAMZ Beta testing is virtually complete, and the next stage of the plan needs to be implemented. The current workshop has reached its limits and to manage more orders, become a self-financing social enterprise, and deliver our three positive impacts on a much wider scale,.
