The Velo Lab Gravel Bike with stainless steel frame
If you are looking for a bike that will stay with you for a long time and that you can pass on to future generations. Stainless steel bicycles are environmentally friendly because steel is recycled and stainless steel can be recycled again.
Why stainless steel is such a good material for bicycle frames
There are many reasons why stainless steel is a good material for bicycle frames. It is extremely durable, does not rust and can be recycled. But the most important reason is that it is environmentally friendly.
1. durable bicycle frame
Stainless steel is an extremely durable material. It is strong and does not break easily. This makes it a good choice for bicycle frames because you don't have to worry about the frame breaking or becoming brittle with age.
2. rust resistance
Another reason why stainless steel is a good material for bicycle frames is that it does not rust. This is important because you don't want your frame to rust and break. Stainless steel is also easy to clean and maintain. So your frame will still be beautiful in 5 years.
3. environmental friendliness
Stainless steel can be recycled as often as you like, making it truly sustainable. It also does not need to be powder coated or painted, meaning there are no emissions from the chemicals in the paint or the powder coating with heat.
4. beautiful design
Last but not least, frames made of stainless steel have a beautiful design. They are simple and elegant. Our stainless steel bicycle frame is simply a feast for the eyes and attracts attention.
Bicycle frame welded in our own bicycle manufactory in Germany
At Velo Lab, we are convinced that you should never compromise on quality. That's why we weld all our bike and cargo bike frames in our own workshop. This allows us to control every aspect of the manufacturing process and ensure that every frame meets our high standards. It also keeps transport distances short, which helps to reduce our environmental footprint. We also use recycled materials wherever possible to further help the environment. So when you choose Velo Lab, you can be sure you're making a sustainable choice.
Best quality
By welding in-house, we have full control over the quality. We can ensure that only the best materials are used and that the frames are perfectly welded.
Short transport routes
Because we weld in our own factory, we do not have to transport the frames to another location. This reduces transport emissions and is better for the environment.
Fast development time
Stathis is constantly developing our bikes and frames. By producing on site, we can implement his ideas quickly and easily. We can develop new frame designs quickly and go into production immediately.
