This [electric bicycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bicycle-designs) by Kasper Jensen bridges the gap between pushbikes and full-on vehicles, as far as both aesthetics and functionality are concerned. The designer doesn't get into the specs of this concept assisted conveyance, but he has built an operational prototype. Kasper was able to configure the motor and many electrical components into a slim casing that molds the the familiar shape of a bicycle frame. The thickened body is rendered beautifully by taking design cues from autos, featuring smoothed contours similar to the ones you'd find on the hoods of sports cars. This automotive e-bike design marks a possible change in styles and preferences for cyclists' treasured means of transportation. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Automotive E-bike Designs:** The trend of creating electric bicycles with designs inspired by sports cars offers an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry. - **Attractive Alternatives to Cars:** The trend of considering two-wheelers as attractive alternatives to cars presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry. - **Bridging Gap Between Pushbikes and Vehicles:** The trend of bridging the gap between pushbikes and full-on vehicles through e-bike designs provides an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the cycling industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Transportation:** The transportation industry has the opportunity to embrace disruptive innovation through the development of automotive e-bike designs. - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore disruptive innovation by considering electric bicycles as attractive alternatives to cars. - **Cycling:** The cycling industry can embrace disruptive innovation by creating e-bike designs that bridge the gap between pushbikes and full-on vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Innovative E-Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/datbike.md) - [Futuristic E-Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebike-concept.md) - [Four-Wheeled Hybrid Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karver-cyle-concept-k1.md) - [Automobile-Inspired Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-ebike-cross.md) - [Removable Headlight eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bike-concept-design.md) - [Connected Urbanite Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pave-motors-bk-ebike.md) - [Shapeshifting Trunk-Friendly Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pxid-a1.md) - [Convertible Electric Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-electric-bicycle.md) - [Automotive Brand Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-smart-spinning-bike.md)
