In recent years, the electric bicycle has undergone a veritable revolution, becoming an increasingly popular transportation solution. The rise of innovative technologies, such as additive manufacturing, has enabled the development of increasingly high-performance models, combining lightness, power and durability. Today we take a look at the Urtopia Titanium Zero electric road bike, a model that perfectly illustrates these advances. Designed with a titanium frame and manufactured using 3D printing, this bike also incorporates an ultra-light motor and robust battery, keeping it light with a total weight of just 10.8 kg. This model embodies the alliance between cutting-edge technology and innovation in sustainable mobility.

Launched in 2022, the Urtopia brand quickly caused a stir with the introduction of an electric bike featuring an innovative design and a carbon frame. In 2023, the Chinese company once again attracted attention with the unveiling of an electric bike featuring ChatGPT. But the company’s new bike, Urtopia Titanium Zero, was unveiled at CES 2025 in Las Vegas a few days ago. What really sets the Uropia Titanium Zero apart from the rest? What are its strengths and features?

The frame is fabricated in titanium thanks to 3D printing.

Urtopia Titanium Zero: An Ultralight Electric Bike

The Urtopia Titanium Zero is distinguished by the use of a titanium frame, a Toray-type alloy manufactured using 3D printing. Titanium was chosen for its flexibility, offering greater comfort than aluminum, while being stiffer and lighter. However, it should be noted that its production generates a significant carbon footprint. Thanks to this material, the bike weighs just 10.8 kg. Titanium is also used for the seatpost, while the wheels and fork are made of carbon. Another special feature of this model is its solid electrolyte battery. This technology enables a higher energy density, in this case, 300 Wh/kg. The Urtopia Titanium Zero is also distinguished by its “Quark DM 1.2” mid-mounted motor. Weighing just 1.2 kg, it plays a key role in the bike’s ultra-light design. According to Urtopia, this motor is “pocked-sized.” What’s more, this motor is simply one of the world’s most efficient in terms of power-to-weight ratio for an electric bike.

However, the brand does not specify which 3D printing technologies were used for manufacture. Moreover, no launch date or price has been announced for this ultra-light electric road bike.

The motor weighs 1.2 kg.
