US bike-maker Superstrata has unveiled what it claims is the world's first bespoke 3D-printed e-bicycle with an impact-resistant carbon fibre frame. Each frame is 3D-printed in a single pass of continuous carbon fibre thermoplastic composite. The company said that unlike other carbon fibre bikes whose frames are glued and bolted together with numerous parts and fabricated from previous-generation thermoset composites, the Superstrata frame is constructed without joints or glue for seamless strength.
