Urwahn presents new bikes with 3D-printed frames

Urwahn, a German manufacturer of e-bikes, has developed a new series of urban and gravel bikes. The models are based on the updated “Softride 2.0” frame platform, which is manufactured using 3D printing. The aim is to offer customizable bikes for different purposes that are both technically optimized and durable.

The frames are made of steel using the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process, which combines low weight with high stability. The monocoque construction enables a seamless look and reduces material waste. Available in three frame sizes (S, M, L), the models can be customized. This includes color options, accessories and different drive systems.

For the e-bike versions, Urwahn uses the X20 rear motor from MAHLE. At 1.4 kilograms, it is one of the lighter motors on the market. The integrated battery has a capacity of 236 watt hours and enables a range of up to 100 kilometers. An optional additional battery increases the range by up to 60 kilometers. It is controlled via a system integrated into the frame, which can be connected to an app.

The mechanical shifting of the wheels is provided by Pinion. Electronic transmission systems ensure precise shifting and are low-maintenance. Safety features such as an integrated LED light system and anti-theft options have also been taken into account.
