There are unusual motors in the Philippines. How not, some components are made of bamboo so given the nickname bamboo motorcycle. Original name of the unique motor is Falcon Green. Designed to encourage the Government of Philippines program mandating 10 million hectares of bamboo planting by 2020.
The bamboo motorcycle itself is the work of Banatti, a subsidiary of Modular Energy Efficient Portage led by Christopher Paris Lacson who is good at designing motorcycles.
Furthermore, Falcon Green motor equipped bamboo shells, including seats, speedo, and home. The bamboo weight on the unit is only 14.5 Kg which Lacson says is very light compared to that made from fiberglass.
The company claims that these bamboo bikers will ride comfortably because the seats are made like the kind of saddle commonly found on other motorcycles.
