Amazing design innovation! His furniture designs look pretty awesome as well.

Dave Hounddriver Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 Here's a locally produced 3 wheel conversion vehicle with plastic rattan covering that may have given the designer his idea.The local factory does this conversion for about 40,000 pesos and you supply the motorcycle, (note that the back wheel of the motorcycle is totally eliminated to keep the design a 3 wheeler so once done you could never have your bike back). They also do rattan conversions on the home made jeep frames that look pretty good but they had none there to photograph today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art2ro Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 If ever I got into a wreck with a bamboo vehicle of any kind, I probably get bamboo splinters all over my ass and where ever else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Hounddriver Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 . . . They also do rattan conversions on the home made jeep frames that look pretty good but they had none there to photograph today.Finally found it to photograph but I don't think it is all rattan, just a good paint job for a home made jeep. Lots of these kinds of vehicles are available but they have a very rough ride, (my friend had one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lee Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 . . .

Lots of these kinds of vehicles are available but they have a very rough ride, (my friend had one). Looks like it is made of solid diamond plate. If so, probably no paint needed. Neat!
