Ivan Miranda has announced design files for the Mirandetta, a foldable 3D-printed electric motorbike. The design allows users to print and assemble the bike using a standard 300mm x 300mm printer, catering to makers interested in personal builds.
Ivan Miranda has released the design files for the Mirandetta, a uniquely designed electric motorbike that can collapse to fit inside a suitcase. This design targets makers who want to construct their own version rather than simply admiring a completed model.
The Mirandetta's design is engineered for a printing process on a singular 300mm x 300mm bed. By utilizing printed parts instead of aluminum components, the bike aims to simplify the building process. Miranda standardized lighting components and minimized the number of distinct screws required for assembly.
Miranda originally built the prototype in approximately 10 days, aiming for a travel-friendly motorcycle. The bike components are crafted to width restrictions allowing for easier transport without needing to disassemble. Key specifications include lawnmower tires for stability, floating motorcycle discs for braking, and a belt-driven rear wheel system.
The bike is powered by two 36V cordless tool battery packs, which are designed to be easily transported through airport security. With these batteries, the overall weight of the bike is just over 14 kg, excluding the batteries.
Despite the innovative design, users cannot fold the fully assembled bike for packing, which limits portability after assembly.
Miranda's work won the suitcase-build contest at Prague Maker Faire, highlighting the creative engineering behind the Mirandetta. He plans to showcase the bike at the Open Sauce event, further engaging with the maker community while selling the design files without any support.
