Unique ONES - In a remarkable collaboration, Dutch designer Ritsert Mans and scientist Peter Mooji have brought forth a truly astonishing innovation: a motorcycle constructed entirely from wood and powered by an extraordinary fuel source back in 2017. Besides that the bike was built to accompany Mooji’s new book, titled De Dikke Alg or The Thick Algae, which examines the role algae could play in a sustainable future.

This one-of-a-kind two-wheeled vehicle flaunts a sleek café-racer style design, with nearly every section crafted from wood, including the chassis, forks, and swingarm. An intriguing fusion of natural materials with modern engineering, the engine and bike's legs, however, retain their sturdy metal components.
As reported by Motorcycle News, what sets this extraordinary wooden motorcycle apart from its petroleum-guzzling counterparts is its fuel source: algae oil. The motorcycle doesn't rely on traditional fossil fuels but rather runs on a unique essence extracted from algae.

Fascinatingly, the team decided to conduct the motorcycle's testing not on the typical asphalt road but on the sandy shores of a beach. This unconventional choice was motivated by two compelling reasons. Firstly, the algae used to produce the fuel thrive in the ocean, thus prompting the decision to perform the tests on the beach. Secondly, the team sought to evoke a sense of nostalgia and adventure by harking back to the early 20th-century motorcycle testing tradition.
Mans expressed, "The future of transportation and energy is uncertain for the next 30 years. Embracing this uncertainty as an opportunity for new adventures, everyone has the chance to develop and build their own ideas."

While
the article regrettably lacks detailed specifications on speed,
cruising capabilities, and fuel efficiency of this unique wooden
motorcycle, it nonetheless sparks hope for alternative fuels and
sustainable transportation solutions in the future.
This groundbreaking venture into wooden motorcycle engineering shines a light on the immense potential of renewable resources like algae oil. As the world grapples with environmental challenges and seeks greener alternatives, Mans and Mooji's creation provides a glimmer of hope for a cleaner and more sustainable transportation future.
