It takes two 2016 bikes, designed as individual motorcycles with unique parts that aim to recreate the realism of the actual bike. Both bikes feature a 3D printed functional front fork, adjustable rear suspension, and drivetrain that translates power from gears to a belt drive system which turns the rear wheel. The beauty and engineering of these bikes are not limited to their design. They also have to option run either TPU 3D printed rear tires or rubber F1 RC tires for better grip. The Rider: The rider is a 3D wonder in its own right. It works by having a brain, backbone, and pelvis. The brain is a super tiny ultra micro servo which is located in the head of the rider. It attaches to the backbone that is a metal rod which runs through the body and is attached to the pelvis, translating the movement of the servo. More than just realism, The Rider steers the bike. The lower left arm is attached to the main servo, and it moves the arm forward and backwards. This movement turns the handlebars which steers the bike. When both bike and rider are married together, you get an amazing experience of two futuristic race bikes that were never available to the public with a rider who’s sitting on the bikes in the way an actual rider would.
