Known as the Schiller [X1](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buddy-x1), this bike is an environmentally friendly way to stay in shape. There are many ways to travel across open bodies of water whether it's by boat, airplane or simply by swimming. While most people don't usually associate water with bicycles, Schiller has invented a bike that has the ability to travel across water thanks to two inflated pontoons instead of two traditional wheels. The cyclist sits comfortably on a typical [bike seat and peddles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/martoni-cardio-speeder) away to give the pontoons the momentum needed to glide across the water. Bikers can travel up to nine miles an hour on the Schiller X1 enjoying getting a great workout as well as lake scenery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Watercraft Cycling Bikes:** The trend of watercraft cycling bikes presents an opportunity for eco-friendly and adventurous fitness activities on open bodies of water. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fitness Equipment Manufacturing:** The fitness equipment manufacturing industry can embrace the disruptive innovation of watercraft cycling bikes to create a new line of eco-friendly and water-based exercise equipment. - **Adventure Tourism:** The adventure tourism industry can incorporate watercraft cycling bikes as a unique and exciting experience for travelers, providing them with a memorable way to explore open bodies of water. - **Sustainable Transportation:** The sustainable transportation industry can explore the disruptive innovation of watercraft cycling bikes to develop eco-friendly alternatives for commuting or leisure activities on water. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Three-in-One Aquatic Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decathlon-x-outercraft-hydrobike.md) - [Pedal-Assist Electric Water Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otter-bike-explorer.md) - [Aircraft-Like Hydrofoil Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrofoiler-sl3.md) - [Rowing-Style Recumbent Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/varibike-extreme.md) - [Four-Wheeled Hybrid Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karver-cyle-concept-k1.md) - [Pedal-Powered Fishing Kayaks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-town-sportsman-bigwater-epdl-132.md) - [Rowing-Style Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rowing-bike.md) - [Tread-Wheel Geometric Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-q.md) - [Slipper Wheel-Less Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slipper-bicycle.md)
