European aeronautics giant Airbus unveiled the 'Light Rider ' in Germany on Friday.
Manufactured
by its subsidiary APWorks, a specialist in additive layer
manufacturing, the motorcycle uses hollow frame parts that contain the
cables and pipes.
The frame weighs just 13 pounds, about 30 percent less than conventional e-motorbikes, weighs 77 pounds, goes 50 mph (80 kph)
APWorks
chief executive Joachim Zettler said the complex, branched hollow
structure wouldn't have been possible with conventional production
technologies such as milling or welding.
