STILRIDE unveils price, new name and final design of first electric motorcycle

The price of STILRIDE’s first lightweight electric motorcycle - formerly named the Sport Utility Scooter (1), but now rebranded as STILRIDE 1 - has been unveiled today, along with new images that showcase the final look and feel of the hotly anticipated ride ahead of its release later this year. 

The STILRIDE 1 will retail at €15,000. Each motorcycle in the first release will be individually crafted and made-to-order at STILRIDE’s Stockholm workshop for delivery in 2024. The first series of bikes will be called the “Limited Founders Edition”: they will be numbered and have black fenders and black details. 

An official launch date for the STILRIDE 1 will be announced this summer, with existing shareholders and STILRIDE community members being offered exclusive early access to place orders and secure a “Limited Founders Edition'' model this spring. Individuals interested in early access can enquire for more information on STILRIDE’s website. 

Alongside the updated imagery, STILRIDE has revealed a number of key design and technology updates to the STILRIDE 1, which have been made to optimise the driving experience and finetune the motorcycle’s design with rider and planet in mind. Striking a balance between functional design purity and sustainable manufacturing, the STILRIDE 1 blends familiarity and nostalgia with future-forward vision and purpose.  

The final design updates include: 

• Chassis: The ultra-lightweight chassis has been optimised using STILRIDE’s “industrial origami” STILFOLD technology to make it even sleeker than in the original prototype. The chassis is made from recycled Swedish steel. 

• Saddle: The saddle now boasts an even more streamlined design compared to the original prototype. It features soft padding and suspension for ergonomic comfort.  

• Brakes: The STILRIDE 1’s braking system is co-developed with ISR: a world-leading brake provider based in Sweden. The master cylinder is integrated into the handlebar to provide a clean look. The motorcycle will have ABS (anti-lock braking system) provided by Continental. 

• Rear suspension: Single shock absorber and multi-link system.  

• Motor: Premium HUB motor system. 

• Craftsmanship: The STILRIDE 1 will be made-to-order in STILRIDE’s Stockholm-based pilot production facility. The “Limited Founders Edition” motorcycle will have a stainless steel chassis and black details. 

• Connectivity: The STILRIDE 1’s bespoke Electric Vehicle Control Unit (eVCU) will power a number of features via a STILCONTROL app. The app will provide riders with theft protection, geographical positioning, service diagnostics and battery status control.

The STILRIDE 1 is the first drop from STILRIDE: the Swedish electromobility innovators rewriting the design rules for sustainable, lightweight electric vehicles using robotics and origami-inspired steel folding.  

Tue Beijer, CTO and co-founder at STILRIDE, comments: 

“The STILRIDE 1 is the culmination of many years’ ambition, passion and experimentation, distilled into a deliciously unconventional lightweight electric motorcycle that isn’t only a feat of engineering, but a work of art. It has been designed for both the motorcycle enthusiast and the design and sustainability purist. We can’t wait for our first customers to experience the pure joy of our ride and join us in setting a new gold standard for sustainable electromobility.”

STILRIDE is a Swedish technology and design company that will soon launch its first product, the electric motorcycle SUS1. SUS1 is also the first product to take advantage of the company's own and unique manufacturing process STILFOLD, where an origami-style process is utilized to shape advanced constructions from sheets of steel. The process not only creates extremely durable constructions, but also enables environmentally friendly and local production. STILRIDE was founded in 2020 by Tue Beijer and Jonas Nyvang.
