Airbus builds electric motorcycle to showcase 3D printing

Updated



Better known for its aeroplane and spacecraft products, Airbus has now turned its attention to the world of motorbikes.

The Light Rider is a 3D-printed electric motorcycle. It's powered by a tiny 8bhp motor that produces an impressive 96lb-ft of torque. They might not sound like exciting figures, but due to the bike's low weight, it's certainly not slow.
