The German 3D printing specialist BigRep has demoed its expertise by crafting a prototype 3D-printed electric motorcycle. All of the bike’s parts are 3D printed except its motor and battery.

This first 3D-printed electric motorcycle is called Nera.

Its sleek lines are the work of designers Marco Mattia Cristofori and Maximilian Sedlak.
