The world’s lightest stunt scooter, engineered with metal additive manufacturing.
THE WORLD’S LIGHTEST SCOOTER
Develop a scooter built specifically for the demanding discipline of stunt riding, where every component has to deliver superior response and reliability under the intense dynamic loads and impacts of acrobatic use.
Explore the limits of mass reduction for a metal stunt scooter, with the ambition of building a vehicle that competes directly with the lightest on the market today, radically improving the rider's agility and manoeuvrability.
Make sure the pursuit of maximum lightness never compromises structural integrity or durability, using advanced materials and optimization for exceptional resistance to the most severe loads.
Harness the disruptive potential of metal AM and generative design to realize optimized organic forms and functional lattice microstructures, going beyond the limits of traditional manufacturing methods.
Under 2.5 kg, with exceptional stunt durability
Topology optimization for the macrostructure and internal lattices, for weight and functional comfort.
Metal additive manufacturing for complex, optimized geometries
"Engineered Raw" visual identity: organic aesthetics derived directly from the optimization and from AM technology.
The deck takes the whole of a landing. A 100 kg rider is roughly 1 kN standing still, so a dynamic factor of four was applied to reach the impact case: 4000 N distributed across the standing surface, with the wheel mounts held as fixed supports. Sizing to the limit case rather than the static one is what leaves the safety factor intact in normal riding.
In a bar-spin or a hard pull-up the rider hangs their entire weight off the grips. 900 N was split evenly between the two ends, 450 N each, with the base clamped to the fork — the arrangement that puts the greatest bending moment through the tube and its junction with the clamp.
The fork inherits that same 900 N through the steerer, so it was loaded at the handlebar interface rather than in isolation, with a further 500 N frontal component for a direct hit against an obstacle. Constrained at the wheel axle, which is where the load finally goes to ground.
Constrained at the central axle and loaded with a 5000 N reaction from the ground at the contact patch: the peak a single wheel sees landing off a ledge in extreme use, far above anything the rider's static weight alone would produce. Shown at two deformation scales so the mode of deflection is readable.
The final gate. The complete scooter under the homologation case set out in the brief, with every joint, clamp and interface carrying load at the same time rather than each part being judged on its own. Clearing this test is what qualifies the design as approved.
