# Bicycle-Electrifying Wheels The go-e ONwheel Electrifies Your Bicycle From Underneath By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2015-08-24 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goe-onwheel References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/go-e-onwheel-bike-motor/39050/) & [go-e.bike](http://go-e.bike/?lang=en) The go-e ONwheel is a contraption that hangs beneath your bicycle to give it an electric boost, in an arrangement quite unique from the typical [motorized wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xs-system) and [electric bicycle motors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mahle-xs-system). The ONwheel is a motor itself, but what's unique about it is that it is mounted on the position where the two chainstays meet the bottom bracket, an area where you normally see a kickstand. The gadget comes with a special sensor that detects when the rider starts to pedal, and automatically moves the go-e ONwheel's swinging arm into place. This setup allows the bicycle's rider to enjoy powered assistance, the exact proportion of which can be manipulated using either a hard-wired handlebar control unit or via a [smartphone app](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eleglide-m1-plus). The app can be used to decide the output and assisted speed of the motor, allowing for a whole new level of control over the bicycle's electric assist boost. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Bicycle Electrification Innovations:** Opportunity for innovative solutions to electrify bicycles beyond traditional methods. - **Underneath-mounted Bicycle Motors:** Disruptive potential for motorized bicycle systems to operate from beneath the bike. - **Smartphone-app Controlled Bicycle Electrification:** Trend in allowing bike riders to control level of electric assistance through a smartphone app. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Opportunity for bicycle manufacturers to incorporate go-e ONwheel-like systems into their products. - **Smartphone App Development:** Potential for app developers to create user-friendly bicycle electrification control systems. - **Electric Motor Manufacturing:** Industry could benefit from producing specific motor systems designed to be mounted underneath bicycles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aftermarket Electric Cyclist Motors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kamingo-ebike-motor.md) - [Widely-Compatible Bike Conversion Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swytch-go.md) - [Ultra-Compact Bike Conversion Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clip-electric-motor.md) - [Electric Motor Bicycle Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zipforce-one.md) - [Expansive Electric Bike Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swytch-air.md) - [Instant E-Bike Conversions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pikaboost-2-lite.md) - [Customizable Wheelbase E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/owlet-one-rs-3.md) - [Crowdfunded E-Bike Converters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pikaboost.md) - [Gearbox-Packing E-Bike Motors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gearboxpacking-ebike-motor.md)
