Ajiro

According to the designer, Alexander Vittouris, Ajiro provides naturally grown urban personal mobility and is made from a fast-growing strain of bamboo. Instead of using energy intensive heat or steam to shape the bamboo after being harvested, the bamboo in the Ajiro is grown over a frame.

The rider sits towards the rear of the vehicle in order to provide stability at low speeds, with pedal power being transferred to the front wheel, while steering inputs are delivered to the rear wheels.
