The Light Rider does the 0-45 kmph in 3 seconds has a top speed of 80 kmph
Weighing barely 35 kg, the Light Rider 3D printed motorcycle is held together by a special aluminium frame. In fact, APWorks choose to call this material 'Scalmalloy', a custom aluminum alloy powder with the strength almost equivalent to that of titanium. The company already uses the it to build larger structures by fusing thin layers of the material together and has used the same properties to create the motorcycle as well.
APWorks is only producing 50 units of the 3D printed motorcycle
As interesting as it gets, APWorks is keeping their appreciable creation pretty exclusive with only 50 units to be manufactured. At $56,100 a piece, the Light Rider isn't even close to being cheap, but does give a glimpse of the company's component fabrication capabilities. So if you have been absolutely smitten by the 3D motorcycle and want to be one of the few who own it, APWorks has opened its books and is asking for a $2200 deposit.
