BACKGROUNDThe Ghana Bamboo bikes project is a student led
commitment project of the Clinton Global Initiative
University implemented by the Bright Generation
Community Foundation a Ghanaian based non-profit
committed to the economic empowerment of the
youth especially young women.
GHANA BAMBOO BIKES
The project aims at taking advantage of the
abundant bamboo raw materials in Ghana to
manufacture and assemble high quality
cheaper bamboo bikes in Ghana suitable for
the road conditions in Ghana that will also
be affordable to the poor.
GHANA BAMBOO BIKES
The Ghana Bamboo Bikes is a socio ecological green
initiative that addresses the quadruple problems of
climate change, poverty, rural-urban migration and
high unemployment amongst the youth in rural
Ghana by creating employment opportunities and
sustainable livelihood job skills for the youth
through the building of high quality handcrafted
second generation bamboo bikes for the
international export markets.GHANA BAMBOO BIKES
Business model
Ghana Bamboo Bikes design, develop and market
multi-purpose bikes and related products and
services using native bamboo.
GHANA BAMBOO BIKES
As part of our contribution towards Youth
Employment Program and the Millennium
Development Goals, The Ghana Bamboo Bikes
shall offer basic course and practical lessons on
building bamboo bikes as a way of encouraging
entrepreneurship and providing sustainable
livelihood job skills for the youth of Ghana.

FACTS ABOUT BAMBOO BIKES Bamboo bikes have great riding characteristics
due to bamboo's natural vibration-damping
qualities. The vibration damping is a
performance advantage on longer rides,
reducing fatigue and shock associated with
carbon frames. It is appropriate for racing and
for everyday use.GHANA BAMBOO BIKES
• Eco friendly: They are organic, sustainable, non-
polluting and recyclable
• Load bearing capacity: In terms of load bearing
capacity, a square inch of bamboo can carry a weight of
500 pounds, and its tensile strength is 28,000 Newton,
compared to 23,000 for steel and good vibration
characteristics .
• Natural damping: Unique shock-absorbing quality and
comfortable ride GHANA BAMBOO BIKES

What is bamboo bike?
A bamboo bicycle is a bicycle with a
frame made out of bamboo

Features Some of the main features of bamboo designs are:
Vibration damping, Crash tolerance and the natural
look of the bike. Vibration damping is one of the
most desirable features of such bikes. A bamboo
bicycle can offer a very smooth and comfortable
ride. As a consequence, bamboo has been made
into road bicycles, mountain bikes, and racing
bicycles.GHANA BAMBOO BIKES

Social Impacts
Bamboo bikes improve the lives of the
people in Ghana by delivering a
sustainable and affordable form of
transportation that satisfies local needs
and eventually brings about the needed
local economic growth.GHANA BAMBOO BIKES

•Bamboo plantations
have been established
in collaboration with
some local
communities to feed
