Trifilon\u2019s biocomposites, which are produced with fibers from hemp and flax plants, can help the company improve its sustainability merits while maintaining the performance of its motorbikes.<\/p>\n<p>The current project will seek to replace current plastic components with Trifilon\u2019s plant-based biocomposites. With Cake\u2019s ethos of sustainability and clean transportation, the company has found a good match in the green-tech startup Trifilon, which helps companies systematically lower CO<sub>2<\/sub> emissions and integrate renewable materials. Trifilon\u2019s hemp-based biocomposite BioLite reduces the CO<sub>2<\/sub> footprint from its manufacture by at least one third.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a great match because our companies are both about performance and sustainability. I think fans of Cake motorbikes will respond positively to having our plant fiber composites in their motorbikes. It will mean that some ingredients in their motorbikes come from European farms. That makes these exciting motorbikes even cooler and more sustainable,\u201d said Trifilon\u2019s CEO and co-founder Martin Lidstrand.<\/p>\n<p>The technology behind Trifilon\u2019s biocomposites was initially intended for the automotive segment, as a substitute for lightweight, strong carbon fiber. Trifilon had previously developed and built the body of a car for Volkswagen Rally with its hemp-based biocomposite, BioLite.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cake, which recently launched a groundbreaking electric motorbike, will now collaborate with Trifilon, an exciting Swedish startup that designs and sells sustainable materials with advanced biocomposite technology.
