Agreed, it looks like it is hard to keep it going in a straight line. It's a "feature"

Wow! That's impressive for a first attempt / proof of concept. And especially considering they printed the suspension and tires too!

I sort of sit in the middle of Bill and Berto on this. Cool proof of concept but not something I would trust riding especially the 3D printed tires. I'm sure solid tires exist for military and the industry applications but on a bike... not sire how comfortable they would make the ride or how they would handle.

Gotta be fun with those "Big Wheel" plastic tires. The thing has got to be flexy as all get out. Wonder how long it toook to print. And at that weight, not much in the way of batteries.

You all know there are Metal 3D printers, not just plastic, right?

And there are rubber like materials they can use too.
