developed as a collaborative effort between InHolland, NPSP composites and van.eko, dutch design duo waarmakers have created the Be.e; the first biocomposite e-scooter made with a monocoque body of hemp, flax, and bio-resin. created with state of the art propulsion systems and well proven drive train components, the two-wheeled light electric vehicle is presented as a pay-per use solution, suitable for city commuting and even for trips into the country side. the batteries allow for up-to two hours of driving the hemp scooter or 60 km in the worst of conditions and the system includes with a 600W charger, allowing users to fully re-charge in under three hours. in addition, the windscreen is nano-coated with a hydrophobic layer that makes water droplets and dirt particles deflect off the surface, improving visibility in dark and rainy conditions.

the electric scooter is composed of a biocomposite of hemp, flax, and resin
the Be.e electric hemp scooter has a monocoque body; a unique construction in which the object’s external skin supports the load, similar to an eggshell, eliminating the need for a frame and the usual numerous plastic panels. this structural engineering feat is enabled through the use of dutch flax and bio-resin, creating an extremely sustainable, lightweight and strong material.

Nice design!
Is this going in production? Hopefully its payable for common people so that everybody will go electric!
Good industrial solutions for the third world countries, heavily dependent on agriculture. Agriculture waste could be converted into engineering goods. Providing the farmers additional incomes. Apart from that the raw material is a sustainable and bio degradable. This is the way to go forward.
The very best of luck to these designers. I love the idea in a dozen ways, not least because if you plugged this into a solar array to recharge, you would have a vehicle whose operation was renewable, made of components that are renewable. Bravo!

Great!
great. this is very cool
