Conceived by skateboard brand Sunset, the [eerie board](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-skateboards) was designed to let you effortlessly imitate a ghoul while you're on the go. The Ghost Skateboard is equipped with a series of unique features to make it seem unearthly. Each of the four wheels glow with a haunting white light so that you emit a creepy aura as you roll along. Mounted on top of the wheels is a [transparent polycarbonate body](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dab-1-transparent-edition) that works to enhance the skateboard's insubstantial appearance. If you're worried about losing the eerie glow from the wheels, you can put your mind to rest because they're self-charging. The [LED wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razer-phantom-collection) get power from spinning. As a result, the skateboard can glow for 100,000 hours before you have to replace the wheels. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Glow-in-the-dark Technologies:** Opportunity for innovative products that utilize self-charging and long-lasting glow-in-the-dark features. - **Transparent Designs:** Potential for transparent materials to enhance the appearance and aesthetics of various products and industries. - **Eerie and Supernatural Aesthetics:** Market for products that embrace eerie and supernatural themes to cater to consumers seeking unique and unconventional experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Skateboarding Industry:** Potential for disruptive innovation by incorporating glow-in-the-dark features and transparent designs into skateboards and related accessories. - **Sports and Recreation Industry:** Opportunity to introduce eerie and supernatural aesthetic elements into sports and recreational equipment to appeal to new consumer segments. - **Fashion and Lifestyle Industry:** Market for glow-in-the-dark and transparent fashion and lifestyle products that cater to individuals who embrace unique and unconventional styles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intuitive Remote-Free Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-skateboard.md) - [Hybridized Electric Longboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybridized-electric-longboards.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bustin-boards-skatex.md) - [Fantasy Skateboarding Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skate-story.md) - [Darkly Demure Flexible Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penny-blackout-skateboards.md) - [Transparent Electric Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crdos-ghost-concept-motorcycle.md) - [Bluetooth-Operated Motorized Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-electric-skateboard.md) - [Sleek Connected E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specter-1.md) - [Carbon Fiber Electric Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-electric-skateboard-concept.md)
