Stilride SUS1 Electric Scooter
Giving the ancient Japanese art of folding paper a modern update, Stilride has developed industrial origami. The Swedish startup pioneered the process called StilFold to create its SUS1 electric scooter. The method uses robotic arms to fold pieces of recycled stainless steel into a bike chassis. As a result, manufacturing requires significantly fewer components while reducing labor production costs for a more sustainable product. Although still in production, prototypes of the scooter have reached a top speed of up to 60 mph and a max range of 75 miles per hour. The Stilride SUS1 electric scooter is expected to hit European markets in fall 2022.
