# Cyclist City Cars The Cygo Electric Car Features Built-in Bicycle Storage By Michael Hines | Published 2012-12-26 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cygo-electric-car References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/cygo-electric-car-concept-with-built-in-2-bike-trunk-mount-rack/) The Cygo electric car is a concept designed specifically for bikers. Designer Daniel Rauch has created a two-seat vehicle with a built-in storage place for two bicycles. (The bikes are stored on the Cygo’s hatch.) The Cygo electric car is powered by [in-wheel engines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kg-motors) and is about as aerodynamic a car as you’re likely to find. Designing an [electric car specifically for bikers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-bagnole-electric-utv) may initially seem a bit silly. However, when you think about the type of people who drive EVs, the idea makes a bit more sense. Those who care about the environment are likely to opt for an electric car, and it’s likely that those same people were [riding bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heybike-ec-compact) before they decided to buy a car. Also, many people complain about EVs due to their lack of capabilities. While the Cygo electric car can’t exactly tow a trailer or haul a dirt bike, it is able to take two people on a trip out of the city and into the country, bikes in tow. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cyclist-friendly Cars:** There's a trend of creating cars that cater to cyclists with built-in storage for bicycles, a potential disruptive innovation opportunity for car manufacturers. - **Electric Cars for Environmentalists:** There's a trend of designing electric cars for people who prioritize environmental concerns, offering a disruptive opportunity for car manufacturers to appeal to this market segment. - **Multi-purpose Cars:** There's a trend of creating cars that can serve multiple purposes, such as carrying bicycles, opening up opportunities for car manufacturers to innovate and capture niche markets. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive Industry:** This trend presents an opportunity for car manufacturers to expand their product offerings to appeal to new market segments. - **Clean Energy Industry:** Electric cars like the Cygo offer a potential market for the clean energy industry to provide energy-efficient batteries and charging solutions for car manufacturers. - **Bicycle Industry:** The trend of creating cars with built-in bicycle storage creates opportunities for the bicycle industry to collaborate with car manufacturers to design optimal storage solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Agile Four-Wheeled eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-car-hybrid.md) - [Familial Electric Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-cargo-ebike.md) - [Enclosed Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carver-electric-city-car.md) - [Lightweight Four-Wheeled Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activcycle.md) - [Triple-Load Cargo Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ca-go-cargo-electric-bikes.md) - [Shapeshifting Trunk-Friendly Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pxid-a1.md) - [Crowded Cityscape Electric Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/didi-bike.md) - [Expansive Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/l885.md) - [Angular Enclosed Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-cargo-bike.md)
