The Amphibious Bike made by Li Wieguo was shown off at Naishahu Park in China. The bike is outfitted with 8 water gallons that allow it to float and the wheels have paddles attached to them to make it move. If you want to take the bike out of the water, the water jugs can be raised up for easy riding. Li Wieguo is currently refining the design in hopes of mass production. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 78% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Floating Bicycles:** Opportunity for developing amphibious bicycles for transportation and exercise. - **Floating Cars:** Opportunity for creating floating vehicles that can drive on both land and water. - **Water-powered Transportation:** Opportunity for developing eco-friendly vehicles that utilize water power for propulsion. ### Where This Applies - **Transportation:** Market for innovative amphibious vehicles that can revolutionize the way people commute. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Industry that can benefit from the introduction of floating bicycles for recreational purposes. - **Sustainable Technology:** Industry that can explore water-powered transportation solutions to reduce carbon emissions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aircraft-Like Hydrofoil Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrofoiler-sl3.md) - [Pedal-Assist Electric Water Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otter-bike-explorer.md) - [Modular Electric Utility Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2x2-ultra-bike.md) - [Three-in-One Aquatic Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decathlon-x-outercraft-hydrobike.md) - [E-Trike Boat Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ztriton-20.md) - [Four-Wheeled Hybrid Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karver-cyle-concept-k1.md) - [Rowing-Style Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rowing-bike.md) - [Semi-Amphibious Bus Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estuary-hopper.md) - [Lightweight Four-Wheeled Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activcycle.md)
