Japan’s Kyoto University Venture Business Laboratory has developed an electric car made out of bamboo called the “Bamgoo.”

It’s an electric car with a body made out of bamboo.

The car weighs sixty-kilogram (132lbs).

It’s a single-seater ecologically friendly concept car.

It measures 270 centimeters (8′9″) in length, 130 centimeters (4′3″) in width and 165 centimeters (5′5″) in height.

It was made of bamboo articles in the Kyoto area.

The car can run for 50 kilometers (30 miles) on a single charge.

    Is it just me… or does this look like it has inspiration from Dr. Seuss?
