Bamboobee - world's first build-it-yourself bicycle
November 28, 2014
It's a present that can be endlessly shaken without revealing its identity, will keep the family occupied well beyond Boxing Day and is useful all year round - Bamboobee is the world's first build-it-yourself bicycle kit.
Singapore-based engineer Sunny Chuah's fondest memory is of hs father teaching him how to cycle - an experience that inspired Bamboobee. He hopes the interactive DIY kit will allow parents and children to strengthen their own bonds by building a bicycle together.
No previous bike-building experience is necessary and all the essential equipment is provided. Sunny estimates that the average person would need 3 days to craft a bamboo bicycle frame.

Custom, vintage and self-build bikes
We can't think of another cycle insurer that builds its own custom bicycles. It means we have first-hand experience of how precious they are, and of what you would expect when they get damaged or stolen. We don’t charge extra for custom, vintage or self-built bikes. Whatever type of bike you would like to cover we would love to hear from you. Find out what we cover.
