Insane Electric Bike 2020: Majestic 2029
Terms like ‘futuristic’ and ‘ground-breaking’ are often bandied about when discussing new motorbikes, 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.

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.
