The D printed electric bicycle can offer up to km of autonomy in the city. Germany-based bicycle manufacturer Urwahn Bikes has created a bicycle frame made entirely of D printed steel.
There are many electric bicycle models on the market, some with more autonomy than others, light and retro , modern, cargo electric , with thick tires , for tourism , made of carbon , but a completely D printed electric bicycle? Perhaps when purchasing a bicycle that, because it is electric, you are aware that by doing so you contribute to caring for the environment, but what if you also add that its material is recyclable at the end of its useful life?
The D printed electric bicycle won the international Green Product Award in
Known as the Urwa C Level Executive List hn Platzhirsch, the minimalist commuter bike is already racking up awards, including the international Green Product Award in
At least , participants from countries also submitted entries for the awards. Categories included architecture and small houses, crafts, lifestyle, fashion, work environments, mobility and sports. The projects were evaluated for their design, innovation and sustainability characteristics.

This was a redemption story for Urwahn Bikes, which was also nominated for its steel-frame Urwahn Stadtfuchs electric road bike in However, it was the D printed version of the Urwahn Platzhirsch bike that took home the award a year later, in According to Urwahn Bikes, the Platzhirsch is also the world's first electric bike to be created entirely using a D printing process.
“Receiving the Green Product Award confirms us once again in our original visions and supports us in our transformation into a sustainable company,” said Urwahn Bikes CEO and Founder Sebastian Meinecke. The CEO emphasizes that the company is dedicated to honest communication about its sustainable journey in the local community.
Characteristics
For its production, state-of-the-art D printing technology is used, which results in a generative laser fusion process; and the connecting elements are built in a bed of high-strength steel powder that is previously atomized in layers.
All the cables for the transmission, brakes and electrical system are routed inside the D printed electric bicycle, and there are a series of hidden mounting points on the frame to be able to mount various racks on it and place fenders on it. the two wheels.

The electric bicycle stands out not only for its minimalist design and because its frame is D printed, but also because it integrates an electric motor integrated into the rear wheel hub; The system is Mahle eBikeMotion capable of offering up to W of power and Nm of torque to help the cyclist pedal up to km/h. In addition, on the upper horizontal bar, Urwahn has implemented a discreet button that allows you to switch between driving modes.

The Urwahn Platzhirsch has a carbon belt transmission designed by Gates which suggests that the maintenance required by the bicycle is reduced to a minimum. With the battery it is capable of offering up to kilometers of autonomy around the city , expandable to (thanks to a second Wh capacity battery) due to an optional range extender.
