MATERIALS!
What you make your vehicle out of counts too, and there are many materials to choose from. For frames, wood has good strength, is easy to work with at home, and is sustainable. If you have access to a welder, metal might be for you. Steel is strong and sturdy but not as light as aluminium. Both of these materials are available from old bicycles.
You might want to go a step further and build a body shell. Composites, aluminium and coreflute are worth considering. The more you upcycle, the better – you could win our EarthCare Award!
