Artisan Wooden Scooter with Bamboo Accents: A Vintage Tribute

Unique ONES - The creativity and passion behind the work of Jakarta Arts Institute (Institut Kesenian Jakarta/IKJ) student, Anas Rosyid, have captivated art enthusiasts and scooter fans alike. His unique project—a beautifully crafted wooden scooter—showcases a deep dedication to craftsmanship and design, combining his studies in Wood Craft at the Faculty of Art and Design with his passion for vintage scooters. This eye-catching creation emerged as Anas’s final project, a culmination of years of learning and an innovative approach to traditional woodworking.

Anas’s interest in scooters, especially classic models, served as the inspiration for his project. To bring his vision to life, he chose the base of a CPI Hussar scooter, which comes equipped with a 2-stroke engine and a 100cc capacity. However, his creation goes beyond simply adapting a scooter’s frame. Driven by his appreciation for the aesthetics of early 20th-century scooters, Anas set out to blend vintage design elements with the organic appeal of wood. He explained that his goal was to reimagine the look of scooters from the period spanning 1901 to 1940, incorporating their charming design features while adding his unique, modern touch.

Taking elements from scooters across these four decades, Anas worked carefully to highlight historical details. He mentioned how scooters from 1901 were especially intriguing, as they had “cute” and unique characteristics that set them apart. In his recreation, he included distinctive aspects of these early models, such as vintage-style front and rear rims, classic forks, and uniquely styled shock absorbers. Beyond merely replicating these features, Anas introduced his own modifications, marrying historical elements with his personal vision to create something both nostalgic and refreshingly original.

Visually, the scooter offers an old-school charm, highlighted by its natural wood grain, rich gold undertones, and a muted dark brown palette. Anas chose a box-shaped seat design that resembles a classic suitcase or wooden crate, lending the piece a sense of antique functionality. His attention to detail extends to the scooter’s headlight, which he sourced from an old bicycle, giving the front a timeless appeal. Anas also chose five-spoke racing wheels, adding a bold contrast to the otherwise rustic appearance and enhancing the scooter's blend of past and present. Not only did he build the scooter itself, but he also created a custom helmet to complement the scooter, designed with similar aesthetics to ensure a unified, distinctive style.

The choice of materials was integral to Anas’s vision, as he selected two specific types of wood to balance strength with weight. For the frame, he used nyatoh wood, a material known for its durability and ability to withstand stress. This choice provided the necessary structural support without compromising the scooter’s aesthetic. For sections that don’t bear much weight, he used pine, a lighter wood that reduces the scooter’s overall mass. This combination of woods allowed Anas to achieve both visual appeal and functionality, making his creation not just a piece of art but a working scooter with thoughtful design and practical consideration.

The wooden scooter has captured widespread admiration, embodying the artistry and ingenuity that the Jakarta Arts Institute seeks to foster in its students. Anas’s work has not only fulfilled the requirements of his final project but has also set a high standard for innovation within his field. This unique creation resonates with fans of art and mechanics, blending functional engineering with a soulful nod to history, all while demonstrating the possibilities of craftsmanship and artistic vision in contemporary design.
