Hey, Everybody! Welcome back to another episode of the Bolton Ebikes Podcast. I have been doing some experiments with the people that are in Bolton Labs. They will get more detail on what exactly I have been working on and parts that we've been making here in the US. I'm going to share a few tidbits about what's going on in the bicycle industry in regards to 3D printing. That's something that has gone from a hobbyist type toy to costly production stuff to now, maybe we're going to start seeing parts like this on affordable bikes. This is what I would consider more reasonably priced bikes in the very future. So if you want to hear about 3D printing stay tuned!
In today’s episode you’ll learn more about:
- What happens in Bolton Labs and how can you be a part of the action.
- What are some of the things we can make with a high-quality 3D printer for ebikes?
- What about injection molding? Is that something we will use in 2021?
- What are the advantages of printing parts in this way?
- Is it possible to print steel parts with other materials?
- What do you want to see in ebikes that are 3D printed?
- Is a 100% 3D printed bicycle even possible?

Hi Kyle
The 3Dprinter looks interesting. I’ve got a question regarding 2000wat ekit bought of aliexpres it came with 1500wat controller that’s the controller they use ke it cool. I’ve had 1500wat wat kit the controller are the same. Bought another 1500wat kit from aliexpres because poeple who have 1500wat ues 52volt 17.5 battery they recon well I’ve seen on utube and according to Google 1500wat with 52volt battery is faster than 2000wat kit. So my question is can upgrade controller on the 2000wat kit trouble is if its possible to do that it’s the connection on controller are sli different. So is there a controller I can use to upgrade power with more or less same connection. I no some people run ten on 72volt with controller to match. Speed tends to drop of on slight slopes. Ino to over come that is using 3000wat kit. But I’m trying to upgrade the 2000wat for that little more power and range well range is the way you use throttle and more pas. I eoud like your comments on that subject. Apologies for long message Colin. Ps I watch all your videos on utube and learns quite a lot
