Although it does not look like a traditionally made motorcycle, this unique motorcycle was developed, designed and built by Swedish engineer Eva Hakansson and named it killajoule. It has set the world record for the fastest electric bike speed ever, at an incredible speed of 248.746 miles per hour (400 kilometers per hour). Of course, Hakansson undoubtedly applied 3D printing technology to the development of motorcycles when building the killajoule. 3D printing makes it better, faster and more environmentally friendly.
Hakansson's self-description is the pursuit of fast and extreme environmentalists, hoping not only to break the speed record of electric motorcycles, but also hope that its motorcycles are cooler and more energy efficient. She wants to show the world how to use 3D printing to make cheaper, more environmentally friendly electric cars. In addition, she is not only the fastest female motorcyclist in the world, but also a mechanical engineer (she recently received a Ph.D. from the University of Denver). Hakansson hopes to promote STEM education among young women and inspire their creativity and creativity.
Hakansson created KillaJoule to create an eco-friendly car that can be used in racing cars. The mechanical engineer explained, "The real purpose of KillaJoule is what I call ecological activism. We want to change the general perception of electric vehicles, especially the image. But the process is slow, 3D printing technology creates objects so fast No one can ignore it."
It is worth noting that 3D printing has always been a key technology in the design process of electric motorcycles. She has prototyped using 3D printing technology and created some parts of KillaJoule. For example, Hakansson uses a lulzbot3D printer to print electric motorcycle engine parts. She can print related parts with biodegradable PLA materials, making the concept of environmental protection to the extreme. For components such as housings, Hakansson uses INOVA-18003D printing materials for printing.
“There is no more efficient and streamlined way to create related parts than 3D printing. 3D printing is definitely the only choice,†Hakansson explains.
3D printing technology not only allows her to use her most environmentally friendly materials to build her favorite vehicle, but also allows her to cut production costs. Compared to traditional machining processes, 3D printing is characterized by low cost and time efficiency. The advantage in time is mainly reflected in what Hakansson explained. Although it takes 24 hours or longer for a 3D printer to print a part, this does not affect Hakansson's other work.
“3D printing opens up a whole new dimension in manufacturing,†Hakansson said of additive manufacturing: “With 3D printing you can do what you dreamed of before.â€
Every August, Hakansson sends her jaw-dropping KillaJoule motorcycle to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah to ensure that its vehicles are tested under optimal conditions. We have seen that she broke the world's speed record and won the world's fastest electric motorcycle title. KillaJoule itself uses a battery similar to that found in a radio drill tool and is 19 feet (5.6 meters) long.
