Mtrl.bike was created from technical research, driven by innovation that turns the market upside down. The challenge was clear: make a bicycle that does not end up as waste. Through many detours, the answer turned out to be plastic! With all its freedom of form, it is a beautiful material to work with and can also be recycled, without consuming much energy. The concept has been proven with a rolling prototype, followed by a crowdfunding campaign: more than 100 bicycles, delivered within six days, at the end of 2016. The crowdfunding bicycles proved to be the ideal basis for a greatly improved design, which was approved according to the international safety standard by the independent EFBE Prüftechnik GmbH.
