BICYCLE WITH RECYCLED MATERIAL

BOSKE, THE RECYCLED BICYCLE

A truly zero-impact bicycle , therefore, both in terms of the choice of materials and the assembly of the various parts, which is entrusted to the customer . According to its inventor, Dan Gestoso Rivers, skipping the assembly phase saves time and energy, with a consequent benefit for the environment.

Added to this is the replacement of aluminum with wood and the production of metal parts through the recovery and recycling of cans: two aspects that make “Boske” decidedly eco-friendly.

BOSKE LIKE IKEA

In terms of its design, the Boske bicycle closely resembles Ikea furniture, made with recycled materials (and in fact, they call it "the recycled bike"). It can be assembled and disassembled, piece by piece. This also saves money, reducing assembly and shipping costs, and also reduces waste, as there are no leftover materials during the assembly phase.
