If you’ve ever marvelled at those flat-packed laser-etched sheets that can be folded and bent into detailed scale models, you’ll appreciate the effort behind new mobility start-up STILRIDE. The Swedish company has scaled up this technique, using an industrial robot to fold sheets of pre-cut recycled aluminium to create a full-size product.

The company claims a lengthy waiting list for the SUS1, which is a pleasingly retro-styled machine, a Vespa viewed through the lens of cyberpunk style. Nyvang, STILRIDE’s CEO, describes the bike as sitting ‘at the intersection of technology, mobility and design.’ He adds that the SUS1 is designed for everyone. We hope it can be an accessible entrypoint to the world of scooters and motorcycles for those with an eye for style and a love of nature.’

With stats, range, and price still to be confirmed, the SUS1 is the starting point for a whole range. Nyvang points out that the technology can easily be applied to different typologies – a cargo bike is reputedly in the works – STILRIDE hopes to blaze a trail for a more sustainable form of manufacturing, and zero-emission mobility is the obvious vehicle.
