this is stilride one. it has one very unusual feature. its chassis is made from one piece of steel. all the curves, all the lines have been folded like origami, following a design by its creator tue beijer. with the curve folding, we dance with the metal.

from one piece of steel. all the curves, all the lines have been folded like origami, following a design by its creator tue beijer. the reason is notjust about aesthetics. see, a typical scooter is assembled in special factories from more than 100 parts, and then it s shipped around the world. but for this bike, all that would need to be sent anywhere is the design. because a bike, if you would send a bike in a crate, you re shipping air. you don t want to ship air. whether you re in sweden, you re in england, you ll probably find sheet metal, right? so it s better to send the code rather than to send yourfinal product. that s a very, very efficient way to do it, you know? so you want to produce near the end customer. i ve been given permission to fire the laser.
The design comprises a series of folded steel beams that curve into the ground to support the wind turbine, which could scrap the need for 90 trucks of concrete per structure.
