micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I think it's cool as fuck, i'd print and ride the street version, adding perhaps some tensioned threaded rod in critical spots. Also probably a little more R&D into that front end, equal length arms make the ride a bit crude.

Just need a fuckn really expensive massive printer!

I would say no, but to each thier own I guess

Its cool and everything, but there is a reason dirtbike frames are made of metal. I don't see what this plastic bike accomplishes that a Razor, ETM RTR, EBOX, Tuttio, or the countless other e-minibikes already do. He initially sought to copy the folding Honda bike (which is mostly a dealer novelty), yet he didn't even consider the folding part? No, a 3D printed dirtbike is not a good idea.
