World's First 3D Printed Electric Bike

3D printing technology has grown exponentially in the last few years. While various companies have been delving in various forms and replacement of turnkey elements in various products, Airbus subsidiary APWorks has also been working on a special design in their own lane - the world's first 3D-printed motorcycle.

The bike is known as Light Right, as it weighs just 77 pounds, and it's powered by a six-kilowatt electric engine, which sees the engine accelerating from 0 to 50 miles in just a few seconds.

By utilising a "selected 3D laser printing system," APWorks melded molten aluminium alloy particles together in order to create a web-like frame - touted as the world's first 3D-printed motorcycle, but only 50 units will be produced, and the price will be around $56,000.
