Booomers International Limited, a Ghanaian social enterprise and their German distributing partners, MY-Boo, have launched their latest product, the Bamboo Electric Bicycle (MY VOLTA) at the just-ended 2016 Euro Bike Show.

Being the first of its kind around the world, the mid-motor powered bamboo bicycle which is yet to hit the market, is already receiving great reviews from industry professionals and positive feedback from bicycle lovers across Europe.

Chief Executive Officer of Booomers International, Mr Kwabena Danso, in a statement, said: “We at Boomers are very excited to have achieved this together with our partners.”

“It’s an indication of our potential to do a lot more with capital injection and investment. The first prototype of this product was made in June 2016 for testing in Germany and we are her now launching it.

“Apart from the electric bikes, there are other several products we will soon be introducing into the market. These will include the newly made kids tricycles labelled AKODAA and the Balance bikes. We also have phone speakers which will be commercially launched in the coming months,” Mr Danso said.

According to him, “the partnership between MY Boo and Booomers has been a great success just as the other partners distributing our bicycles in other countries. The launch of this great product is going to change the face of transportation and the cycling industry across Europe and soon in other parts of the world.”
