# Vertically Pedaled Bicycles This Innovative Bicycle Features Standing Pedals That Slide Up & Down By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2016-06-09 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/LFN-bike References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/lfn-bike-electric-vertical-pedaling/43689/) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCK3VFY_eyxNwbdHV907qjeg) The LFN Bike is an extraordinarily innovative bicycle, developed by a group of designers and engineers based in Texas, that comes equipped with a unique [vertical pedal drivetrain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martoni-cardio-speeder) boosted with electric power. This innovative bicycle features standing pedals that slide up and down along a stainless steel bar. They are hooked up to the rear wheels via a proprietary gearbox that is capable of working reliably for years. The electric boost function comes through the [350-watt front wheel motor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bicycle-technology), which draws its juice from a 48-volt battery that works independently of the pedals to offer speeds of up to 32 km/h. The LFN Bike is truly an ingenious bicycle innovation that is introducing a new sensation of pedaling along with the [electric boost capability](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bicycle-model) that modern cyclists are very particular about. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 72% | 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 - **Vertical Pedal Drivetrain:** The use of vertical pedal drivetrains could potentially disrupt traditional bicycle design, creating opportunities for innovation in the cycling industry. - **Electric Boost Function:** Electric boost functions in bicycles could potentially disrupt traditional modes of transportation and provide new opportunities for innovation. - **Standing Pedals:** The use of standing pedals in bicycle design could create a more comfortable and efficient riding experience, providing an opportunity for innovation in the cycling industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cycling Industry:** The cycling industry could potentially benefit from adopting vertical pedal drivetrains, electric boost functions, and standing pedals in their products. - **Electric Bike Industry:** The production of electric bicycles with innovative features such as vertical pedal drivetrains, electric boost functions, and standing pedals could potentially disrupt the traditional bicycle industry. - **Outdoor and Recreation Industry:** The use of innovative features such as vertical pedal drivetrains, electric boost functions, and standing pedals in bicycles could potentially create new trends in the outdoor and recreation industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adventurous Pedal-Powered Electric Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedalpowered-electric-bicycle.md) - [Accessible Step-Through E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lime-3.md) - [AI-Fueled Urban E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aifueled-urban-ebikes.md) - [Dual-Posture Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-escooter.md) - [Sleek Electricity-Storing Velomobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electricity-storing-velomobile.md) - [Oddball Penny-Farthing Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pennyfarthing-bike.md) - [Compact Foldable City Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-cycle.md) - [Recumbent Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle.md) - [Drivetrain-Devoid Concept EBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-ebike.md)
