What do you get when you mix motorcycles with origami? The answer, dear reader, is the Stilride 1.<\/p>\n

The unique vehicle is the brainchild of Swedish startup Stilride<\/a>. The company today unveiled the final design and price for the new electric ride, which is due to launch in 2024.<\/p>\n

For \u20ac15,000, each customer will get a made-to-order motorcycle that combines looks, performance, and sustainability<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To manufacture each vehicle, Stilride uses a pioneering method dubbed \u201cindustrial origami,\u201d which applies the Japanese art of paper-folding to sheet metal. <\/span>The startup\u2019s<\/a> software first defines the geometries, which industrial robots and laser-cutting then bring to life. <\/span><\/p>\n

For the Stilride 1, the entire process requires a single sheet of stainless steel. As it\u2019s folded instead of welded, minimal pollutants are produced.\u00a0 <\/span>To further minimise the environmental impact, the bike is produced locally from a small number of parts. It\u2019s also lightweight, which reduces energy consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been designed for both the motorcycle enthusiast and the design and sustainability purist.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tue Beijer, CTO and co-founder at Stilride, wants the bike to set \u201ca\u00a0new gold standard\u201d for electric mobility<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Stilride 1 is the culmination of many years\u2019 ambition, passion, and experimentation, distilled into a deliciously unconventional lightweight electric motorcycle that isn\u2019t only a feat of engineering, but a work of art,\u201d Beijer said in a statement. \u201cIt has been designed for both the motorcycle enthusiast and the design and sustainability purist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But does it pass the eye test? You can judge that for yourself in the gallery below:<\/span><\/p>\n

The aesthetics modernise the previous design, which my colleague Ioanna compared to<\/a>\u00a0\u201can origami duck.\u201d To my eyes, the new model looks more like the steel lovechild of a Vespa and an electric guitar. <\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, looks aren\u2019t everything on the road. In terms of specs, the Stilride 1 features an ultra-lightweight chassis made from recycled Swedish steel, a premium HUB motor system, single shock absorber and multi-link rear suspension, and a braking system that was co-developed with ISR<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a compelling connectivity system. The motorcycle\u2019s Electric Vehicle Control Unit (eVCU) powers various features through the Stilcontrol app, which provides theft protection, geographical positioning, service diagnostics, and battery status control. <\/span><\/p>\n

The motorcycles will be built in Stilride\u2019s Stockholm-based pilot production facility.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The specs and price are certainly eye-catching \u2014 but will they convince you to splash your hard-earned cash? Let us know via the usual channels.<\/p>\n

If your answer\u2019s yes, the launch date for the Stilride 1 will be announced this summer. And <\/span>if you\u2019re interested in early access, you can get more information on Stilride\u2019s website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
