Entry Description

Waldwiesel is a gravel e-bike featuring a seamlessly 3D-printed steel frame with flowing, weld-free geometry. The elastic SOFTRIDE rear structure absorbs shocks for enhanced off-road comfort. All technical elements – motor, battery, lighting, and cabling – are fully integrated into the frame, creating a clean, purist design.
Designed and manufactured in Germany, Waldwiesel combines advanced additive manufacturing, sustainable local production, and functional aesthetics into one coherent product. It redefines modern urban and gravel mobility through material innovation and structural precision.

Bio

Driven by the idea of taking mobility to a new level, we have designed an e-bike that is specially adapted to graveling. During the development process, we did not only take into account the user's needs in terms of functionality, performance and safety, but also placed great emphasis on an aesthetic design and a sustainable value chain with regional roots. The result is an URWAHN E-Bike with an organic 3D-printed steel frame, completely manufactured in Germany.
