# Retro Cycling Hybrids The Derringer Cycle is for the Cool Kid on the Block By Meghan Young | Published 2010-09-15 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/derringer-cycle References: [derringercycles](http://www.derringercycles.com/) I don't think I've ever come across a bike cooler than this Derringer Cycle. With the look of a [retro racing motorbike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/64-street-spec-caf-racer) from the 1920s, the bike is definitely creative in its design. The Derringer Cycle not only operates as a [regular pedal-propelled bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle), but also as an [electric bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bicycle-designs). The engine tops off at 30 mph and it can last for up to 300 miles. Sold for $3,500, only the coolest kids will be able to afford the Derringer Cycle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Retro Electric Bikes:** Opportunity for companies to create retro-styled electric bikes that combine vintage design with modern features and technology. - **Hybrid Transportation:** Opportunity to develop hybrid vehicles that can function both as pedal-propelled bikes and electric bikes, providing users with flexibility and choice. - **Retro-futurism:** Growing market for products that blend retro aesthetics with futuristic features, catering to consumers who appreciate both nostalgia and innovation. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can tap into the market demand for retro-style electric bikes, offering unique and stylish options to consumers. - **Transportation:** Companies in the transportation sector can explore the development of hybrid vehicles that offer a greener and more versatile alternative to traditional bikes. - **Consumer Goods:** Brands specializing in retro-futuristic products can expand their offerings to include retro-styled electric bikes, attracting enthusiasts of both vintage and cutting-edge design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro Gaming-Inspired eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dab-1a.md) - [Handmade Aluminum E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiller.md) - [Dual-Rider E-Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mod-easy-sidecar-3.md) - [Motorcycle-Inspired Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dk400.md) - [Limited-Edition Electric Kick Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-kick-bike.md) - [Retro-Inspired Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachman.md) - [Mini Electric Commuter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tern-nbd.md) - [High-Performance Commuter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-graffiti.md) - [Innovative eBike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-ebike.md)
