Modern scooters have a rigid design and aren't very attractive to the eye. The Cycon Circleboard has a look similar to that of a [modern work of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italjet-roadster-400) and looks a bit more fun to ride than your average scooter. The scooter is built by hand with parts from Austria, Germany and Switzerland. The front wheels of the Cycon Circleboard do not move. The rider steers by leaning. This design has been implemented in a few scooters already, but not to this extent. (Many [scooters that encourage carving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redux) also allow you to direct yourself using the handlebars.) You can watch the video to check out the Cycon Circleboard in action, or you can pony up $663 and grab your own. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Semi-circle Scooter Designs:** Cycon Circleboard's curved design offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for scooter manufacturers to create more attractive and enjoyable rides. ### Where This Applies - **Scooter Manufacturing:** The Cycon Circleboard's unique design presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the scooter manufacturing industry to create more aesthetically pleasing and interactive scooters. - **Art and Design:** The artistic and visually appealing design of the Cycon Circleboard opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the art and design industry to create functional works of art. - **Custom Manufacturing:** The hand-built nature of the Cycon Circleboard provides a disruptive innovation opportunity for custom manufacturing, offering unique and personalized scooter options to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Origami-Inspired E-Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stilride-sus1.md) - [Origami-Inspired Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-escooter.md) - [Cybertruck-Inspired Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-machine-p11.md) - [Full-Tilt Steering Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourwheel-scooter.md) - [Lifestyle-Conscious Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-ce-04-vagabund-moto-concept.md) - [Modular Monowheel Hoverboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naowheel.md) - [Futuristic Metallic Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bandit-9.md) - [Picnic-Ready Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smeg-futro.md) - [Industrial Design Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/model-one-voyager.md)
