News item from the BBC today
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/video_and_au ... -motorbike
"With the exception of the electrical components, the bike is made from 3D-printed parts, including the tyres and the frame."
So without the electrical components it can't possibly be an electric motorbike. And unless it has pedals, it can only be rationally described as a push bike.
Apparently it took three days to print at a cost of £2000. Progress?

Re: 3d printed electric motorbike
It's a nice bit of propaganda for an emerging technology, and all credit to them, but would I want to be cornering at speed on those wheels? What have they made important bits such as the head races out of? Or the suspension parts? It looks well wobbly in the test run video.
It does, however, look to me as though they've given it a silencer. Which has got me scratching my head a little bit.
