This new Thok Project 4 eMTB prototype claims to be the world’s first 3D-printed metal full-suspension mountain ebike, and signals a new design direction for the ebike maker.
– the Thok ebike development team used Selective Laser Melting to quickly 3D-print AlSi10Mg aluminum to create the unique shapes of the Project 4 ebike. Working directly with alloy, SLM allowed Thok to more quickly create a functional prototype of their next generation of eMTB that they could ride test, also with less material waste.
As we’ve seen with a number of 3D-printed alloy track and road bikes, SLM allows for unique complex frame shaping, as well as sophisticated structural design not always outwardly visible.
Thok will deliver this new lightweight eMTB platform with max battery modularity and weight kept low under the downtube. Buyers will be able to choose from 400Wh, 500Wh, 626Wh, or 750Wh batteries each with their own specific secure cover to integrate into the frame’s design – plus any ebike rider will be able to add on a 260Wh range extender bottle battery for longer pedal-assist support.
Technical details aren’t yet set in stone, but this prototype is built up with 29″ wheels, 150-160mm of travel between a RockShox
