# Wirelessly Charged Bicycle Concepts The Flux Bicycle Could Be Charged Wirelessly On the Go By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-07-28 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flux-bicycle References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2014/07/28/flux-bicycle-kit-offer-canfi-charges-phones-while-cycling/) & [offercanfi](http://offercanfi.com/) The Flux bicycle, envisioned by [Royal COllege of Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airbourne-reserve) graduate Offer Canfi, is a bicycle that could be powered using resonant inductive coupling -- a method of transmitting electrical energy without using man-made conductors. Canfi evisions a future for cycling where inductive bicycle lanes could be used to [wirelessly charge electric bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charging-1) and other devices on the go. The Flux bicycle is part of a wider vision wherein resonant inductive bicycle lanes represent the first step towards [wireless power grids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-power1). In other words, roads and lanes could become power emitters that could be used to charge all kinds of devices without a need for batteries. Inductive bicycle lanes would be created by laying a high-friction surface embedded with special emitter coils along sections of road. The current passing through these coils would transfer electricity to the bicycle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Inductive Bicycle Lanes:** Inductive bicycle lanes could become a revolution in the charging industry and can provide opportunities in urban infrastructure. - **Wireless Power Grids:** Wireless power grids could mark a major shift in energy consumption and can provide disruptive innovation opportunities in transportation and infrastructure. - **Resonant Inductive Coupling:** Resonant inductive coupling can bring a revolution in wireless power technology and can provide opportunities in various industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Inductive bicycle lanes could open new opportunities in the automotive industry for electric bikes and other vehicles. - **Smart Cities:** Wireless power grids can provide disruptive innovation opportunities in urban infrastructure, making it the next frontier for smart cities. - **Electricity and Power:** Resonant inductive coupling can bring new opportunities for clean energy and wireless power technology to promote energy efficiency and sustainability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wireless Bike Battery Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiler.md) - [Future-Facing Charging Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wireless-charger-concepts.md) - [Induction-Charging EV Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inductev.md) - [Wireless Automotive Charging Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-pointech.md) - [E-Bike Charging Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bikeflex.md) - [Futuristic E-Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebike-concept.md) - [Wireless E-Bike Charging Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobidock.md) - [Lightweight Hybrid Performance eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-flux-one-hybrid-ebike.md) - [Self-Charging E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vello-bike-design.md)
