Cyclist City Cars

The Cygo Electric Car Features Built-in Bicycle Storage

— December 26, 2012 — Autos
The Cygo electric car is a concept designed specifically for bikers. Designer Daniel Rauch has created a two-seat vehicle with a built-in storage place for two bicycles. (The bikes are stored on the Cygo’s hatch.)

The Cygo electric car is powered by in-wheel engines and is about as aerodynamic a car as you’re likely to find. Designing an electric car specifically for bikers may initially seem a bit silly. However, when you think about the type of people who drive EVs, the idea makes a bit more sense. Those who care about the environment are likely to opt for an electric car, and it’s likely that those same people were riding bicycles before they decided to buy a car.

Also, many people complain about EVs due to their lack of capabilities. While the Cygo electric car can’t exactly tow a trailer or haul a dirt bike, it is able to take two people on a trip out of the city and into the country, bikes in tow.
Trend Themes
1. Cyclist-friendly Cars - There's a trend of creating cars that cater to cyclists with built-in storage for bicycles, a potential disruptive innovation opportunity for car manufacturers.
2. Electric Cars for Environmentalists - There's a trend of designing electric cars for people who prioritize environmental concerns, offering a disruptive opportunity for car manufacturers to appeal to this market segment.
3. Multi-purpose Cars - There's a trend of creating cars that can serve multiple purposes, such as carrying bicycles, opening up opportunities for car manufacturers to innovate and capture niche markets.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Industry - This trend presents an opportunity for car manufacturers to expand their product offerings to appeal to new market segments.
2. Clean Energy Industry - Electric cars like the Cygo offer a potential market for the clean energy industry to provide energy-efficient batteries and charging solutions for car manufacturers.
3. Bicycle Industry - The trend of creating cars with built-in bicycle storage creates opportunities for the bicycle industry to collaborate with car manufacturers to design optimal storage solutions.
