igus:bike®

Made from recycled plastic waste, the maintenance-free igus:bike was designed for urban traffic. The bicycle components, almost all of which are plastic, require no lubricants, do not rust and can be recycled. The low-wear moving parts are self-lubricating, and the encapsulated belt drive is protected from environmental influences. The jury described the igus:bike as “ecologically groundbreaking, striking in appearance and practical for everyday use in the urban environment”. The ball bearings, crank, pedals and freewheel were newly developed for the innovative all-plastic planetary gear. The interplay between the colour, frame, fork and rims is style-defining.
