# Eco Breathing Scooters The Air Powered Motorbike Moves with the Driving Force of Compressed Gases By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-05-10 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-powered-motorbike References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/05/09/o2-moto/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Air-Powered-Motorbike/7432411) Behold the Air Powered Motorbike. This is an innovative [concept motorcycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-motorbike1) that can reach surprising speeds thanks to the force of compressed air within its cutting-edge engine. Three compact canisters have been fitted on the [scooter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bo-the-turbo), each one drawing in the surrounding gaseous mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide. The lung-like components then apply pressure by a shrinking of the compartments and exploit the potential of the condensed air for energy. Designed by Bolaji Teniola of Melbourne, Australia, the Air Powered Motorbike would be a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative to fuel-guzzling bikes and [mopeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epa1). Its creator suggests that the speedy two-wheeler would be ideal for use by beginner bikers, as a conveyance that is safe, cheap, easy and fun to operate. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Air-powered Motorbikes:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the motorcycle industry by developing more environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives to traditional fuel-powered bikes. - **Compressed Air Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the energy sector by exploring the potential of compressed air as a sustainable energy source for various applications. - **Green Transportation Solutions:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry by designing and manufacturing eco-friendly vehicles that are affordable, efficient, and enjoyable to use. ### Where This Applies - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Motorcycle manufacturers can explore the development of air-powered motorcycles as a sustainable and appealing option for beginner riders and eco-conscious consumers. - **Alternative Energy:** Companies within the alternative energy sector can invest in research and development of compressed air technology to harness its potential for clean and renewable energy solutions. - **Electric Vehicle Manufacturing:** Electric vehicle manufacturers can consider integrating compressed air technology as an additional energy source for hybrid or electric vehicles, further enhancing their eco-friendly profile. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Eco-Friendly Hydrogen Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lavo-bike.md) - [Cost-Effective Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roam-air.md) - [Solar-Powered Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-clipse-2.md) - [Research-Centric Hydrogen Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogen-motorcycle.md) - [Cutely Compact Commuter Mopeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-bike.md) - [Hydrogen-Powered Concept Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydra-bike.md) - [Air-Powered Racer Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpower-turbo-racer.md) - [Futuristic Mini Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naxeon-i-am.md) - [Gas-Free Mountain Patrol Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/equuleus-electric-bike.md)
