# Partially Printable E-Bikes The Trayser E-Bike Can Be Maintained With 3D-Printed Replacement Parts By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-04-01 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trayser-ebikes References: [theguardian](http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/mar/27/trayser-electric-bike-review-ettindustries-observer-martin-love) & [ettindustries](http://ettindustries.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Press-Release-March.pdf) The Trayser is a [high-tech e-bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bicycle-model), developed by New Zealand-based company ETT, that is just as noteworthy for its peculiar appearance as it is for its structural characteristics. The most unique feature of this e-bike is the fact that it is the very first e-bike available that allows you to 3D-print replacement parts. All you have to do is visit the Shapeways website and order the 3D-printed replacement part. If you're confident about your own 3D-printing skills, you can even 3D-print parts yourself or build your own. As far as performance specs are concerned, this e-bike is powered by a 42-volt lithium ion battery that gives it a range of up to 60 miles. However, the ability to 3D-print replacement parts is what makes the Trayser truly stand out in the e-bike field, as it's a feature that could revolutionize the way people upgrade and alter e-bikes going forward. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **3d-printed Replacement Parts:** The ability to 3D-print replacement parts for e-bikes presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the cycling industry. - **Customization and Upgradeability:** The Trayser e-bike's ability to easily customize and upgrade with 3D-printed replacement parts opens up new possibilities in the personal transportation industry. - **Sustainable Manufacturing:** The use of 3D printing technology to manufacture replacement parts for e-bikes aligns with the growing trend towards sustainable manufacturing practices. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cycling:** The cycling industry has the opportunity to embrace 3D printing technology to create customizable and easily repairable e-bikes. - **Personal Transportation:** The personal transportation industry can benefit from the ability to 3D-print replacement parts, providing customers with easy customization and upgrade options. - **Manufacturing:** The manufacturing industry can explore the use of 3D printing technology for sustainable production of replacement parts for various products, including e-bikes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Repairable Modular E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roetz-life.md) - [3D-Printed Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vagabund-moto-2022-ktm-freeride-exc.md) - [Unconventional E-Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendler.md) - [Self-Assembled E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-vanture.md) - [Lightweight Electric Mountain Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-electric-mountain-bike.md) - [3d-Printed Mountain Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rodeo-bike.md) - [Terrain-Traversing eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terrain-electric-mountain-bikes.md) - [High-Tech Carbon E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urtopia.md) - [Ultra-Sustainable E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddy-x1.md)
