BigRep, a German industrial 3D printer based in Berlin, has unveiled the world’s first 3D-printed electric motorcycle. Except for the electronics, the bike is entirely 3D printed, including the airless tires, rims, frame, fork, and seat, excluding only electrical components.
The bike, called the NERA, was developed by Marco Mattia Cristofori with Maximilian Sedlak, part of the German manufacturer’s innovation lab and consultancy NOWlab.
