This Insane New Electric Motorcycle Was Made Using 3-D-Printed Titanium Parts
Insane Electric Bike 2020: Majestic 2029
Terms like ‘futuristic’ and ‘ground-breaking’ are often bandied about when discussing new motor bikes, but few are as well deserving as Fuller Moto’s latest electric bike. Dubbed simply 2029 Majestic, the one-of-a-kind two-wheeler not only has an ultra-modern aesthetic but was also built using cutting-edge technology.

Taking cues from the classic French 1929 Majestic motor bike, the custom ride features a fully enclosed sculptured aluminum body, hub-centric steering and sleek lines like its hundred-year-old predecessor.

But that’s where the similarities end. Penned by Bryan Fuller, the futuristic riff features 3D-printed titanium parts, transparent polycarbonate wheels - unlike the original, they have no spokes - and is fitted with an electric engine.

The Insane Majestic 2029
Building upon one of Zero Motorcycle’s FXS electric bikes, Fuller and his team combined modern subtractive techniques, such as CNC machining, with traditional manufacturing to create the wholly distinctive 2029 Majestic. The workshop flipped the chassis upside down and repositioned the batteries so that the engine aligned with the large 23-inch wheels. Intricate elements, including the chassis, front stabilizer arm and steering plate, were 3-D-printed using titanium with a level of precision that’s near-impossible to achieve by hand.

Inspired by 3-D printing, allowed Fuller to run wild and create organic shapes that are nearly unmakeable by traditional means. With no limits to design, Fuller and his team were able to create something unique that could only exist in the space between craft and the innovation of technology.
