Bamboo Car is the eco-friendly BamGoo



How eco-conscious are you? Electric cars are increasing in popularity but if you want something, well, a little different, perhaps the BamGoo is for you…

Bamgoo

Researchers at Kyoto University displayed an electric car made almost entirely out of bamboo. As one of the fastest growing materials available, bamboo helps to make this car super eco-friendly.

The single-seat “BamGoo” weighs about 130 pounds, but can only run about 30 miles on a charge.

I’m not totally “sure” about the design. Well, its not going to keep out the rain in London. But at least there aren’t any panda’s here!
