# Transforming European City Cars The Bimoped EV Can Go from Automobile to Moped in an Instant By Michael Hines | Published 2012-02-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bimoped-ev References: [ecofriend](http://www.ecofriend.com/bimoped-city-oriented-electric-vehicle-dual-driving-features.html) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/MikeDruchunas/bimoped-electric-vehicle-concept) The Bimoped EV is a [transformer EV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/azr-quad-go) designed for the city of Amsterdam. Designer Michael Druchunas has created a two-seat EV that can instantly transform into two mopeds. The Bimoped EV has a [tandem seating configuration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scooter-platform), making it ideal for short trips where intimacy and extreme comfort aren't required. The Bimoped's electric engine can be supplemented with a compressed gas conversion kit should drivers run out of juice before reaching their destinations. Easily the most awesome feature of this design is the fact that it can transform into two mopeds once parked. The front and rear wheels on each side can be fixed together to form two small, but functional mopeds. This would be ideal for a European city such as Amsterdam where bicycles and mopeds are more common than cars. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 81% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electric Vehicle Transformers:** The Bimoped EV is an example of a transformer EV with disruptive innovation opportunities in the electric vehicle industry. - **Multi-use Urban Vehicles:** The Bimoped EV's ability to transform into two mopeds offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the urban mobility industry. - **Hybrid Fuel Conversion Kits:** The Bimoped EV's ability to be supplemented with a compressed gas conversion kit presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the renewable energy industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Electric Vehicle Industry:** The Bimoped EV is a potential disruptor in the electric vehicle industry due to its transformer design. - **Urban Mobility Industry:** The Bimoped EV's unique ability to transform into two mopeds presents disruptive innovation opportunities within the urban mobility industry. - **Renewable Energy Industry:** The Bimoped EV's capability to use a compressed gas conversion kit offers disruptive innovation opportunities in the renewable energy industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Convertible Electric Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-electric-bicycle.md) - [Two-in-One Scooter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popup-scooter.md) - [Transformable India-Based EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revamp-moto.md) - [Modular Electric Mopeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epa1.md) - [Cutely Compact Commuter Mopeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-bike.md) - [Customizable Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maven-urban-etrike.md) - [Three-Wheel Pod EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nimbus-one.md) - [Multifunctional Hybrid Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-mobility.md) - [Transforming Electric Unicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titaa.md)
