STILRIDE Unveils Final Design of First Electric Motorcycle Featuring 'Origami' Technology

Sweden's STILRIDE has unveiled the final design for is first lightweight electric motorcycle - formerly named the Sport Utility Scooter (1), but now rebranded as STILRIDE 1. Its ultra-lightweight chassis has been optimised using the startup's 'industrial origami' folding technology to make it even sleeker than in the original prototype.

The chassis is made from recycled Swedish steel. 

The STILRIDE 1’s bespoke Electric Vehicle Control Unit (eVCU) will power a number of features via a STILCONTROL app.

The app will provide riders with theft protection, geographical positioning, service diagnostics and battery status control. 

Each motorcycle in the first release will be individually crafted and made-to-order at STILRIDE’s Stockholm workshop for delivery in 2024.

They will retail at €15,000.

Founded in Sweden in 2020, STILRIDE develops sleek electro-mobility devices based on sustainable 'industrial origami' STILFOLD.

Tue Beijer, CTO and co-founder at STILRIDE, says: “The STILRIDE 1 is the culmination of many years’ ambition, passion and experimentation, distilled into a deliciously unconventional lightweight electric motorcycle that isn’t only a feat of engineering, but a work of art. It has been designed for both the motorcycle enthusiast and the design and sustainability purist. We can’t wait for our first customers to experience the pure joy of our ride and join us in setting a new gold standard for sustainable electromobility.” 

STILRIDE's 'industrial origami' is a cutting edge sheet metal shaping procedure using origami folding techniques, laser cutting and industrial robotics.
