  1. Evening all,

    Saw this show, it's got a part about the design process in Lightning Motorcycles which some of you may find interesting including generative design for the swingarm.

    I think it's pretty amazing how designers and engineers are using additive manufacturing!

    The bike bit starts at about 3:40

  2. Just watched the whole program. Interesting.

    I've always thought that electric bikes looked crap. But I wasn't offended by the one that they showed. I'm changing my mind (slowly!) about electric bikes. You can have some really mind-blowing acceleration. It's just that cost could be the problem :thinkingface: We need cheap batteries!

  3. I offered them £70,000 uk for a LS218 & they ignored me. This is going back a few years.

    The Lightning Strike. I think that it looks OK. I do hope that Ducati come up with something good electric-wise. The acceleration is mind blowing!
