HaPe is proud to offer the Bamboo Collection, the world's first collection of bamboo toys. The challenge with bamboo (the giant grass that grows as tall as a tree), is its sensitivity to sawing, cutting, filing, dyeing, temperature, and bending. Hape realized the extensive amount of research and testing required but persevered because bamboo is an extremely economical and earth-friendly raw material. Once cut, bamboo grows back completely in a mere three years. It also combines lightness with stability and is flexible but very strong. The bamboo grain has a wonderful tactile feel and is enhanced with a bright, safe, water-based paint.

Your child will adore the sporty look of this Hot Rod with its rugged wheels. Behind the splendid design and bright red water-based paint is bamboo, a highly sustainable grass that grows as tall as a tree.
