Itera
A Swedish bicycle made entirely of plastic, meant to be cheap to produce but a failure.
The Itera went on sale in 1982, but it was flexible and hard to repair. About 30,000 were made before the company closed, and it is now a collector’s item.
Materials: Glass-reinforced plastic
Manufacture: Made in Vilhelmina.
The frame and wheels in injection-moulded plastic.
