# Sleek Speedy Cycles Jeff Tiedeken's Gravity Bike Can Hit an Astounding 80 Miles Per Hour By Meghan Young | Published 2011-04-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-bike References: [core77](http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/jeff_tiedekens_gravity_bike_gets_up_to_60mph_18966.asp) & [trackosaurusrex](http://trackosaurusrex.com/pblog/index.php?entry=entry110329-122230) Forget getting yourself a sports bike: If you're looking for a lesson in speed, I suggest you take a good look at the Gravity Bike. This sleek and speedy cycle is perhaps the fastest one out there. It is able to reach up to 80 mph and will make you feel like you are literally lifting into the air and flying. Designed by Jeff Tiedeken (also known as Monkey Likes Shiny), the Gravity Bike was supposed to debut during the 2011 North American Handmade Bicycle Show. Unfortunately, Tiedeken was unable to participate because he neglected to conform to the rules and regulations of the show. Although there isn't much information about the bike itself, the Gravity Bike will be on display sooner or later. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gravity Biking:** With the Gravity Bike's potential to reach an astounding 80 miles per hour, there is a disruptive innovation opportunity in the biking industry for designing bikes with enhanced speed capabilities. - **Extreme Sports Vehicle:** The Gravity Bike's design and speed potential provides an opportunity for innovation in the extreme sports vehicle industry to create vehicles that are not only fast, but also sleek and aesthetically pleasing. - **Alternative Sports Transportation:** Gravity Biking presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the sports transportation industry to create unique and streamlined bikes for people who want an alternative to traditional transportation methods. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Biking:** The Gravity Bike presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the biking industry to create bikes with enhanced speed capabilities. - **Extreme Sports Vehicle:** The Gravity Bike's design and speed potential provides an opportunity for innovation in the extreme sports vehicle industry to create vehicles that are not only fast, but also sleek and aesthetically pleasing. - **Sports Transportation:** Gravity Biking presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the sports transportation industry to create unique and streamlined bikes for people who want an alternative to traditional transportation methods. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Fast Defense Division eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hipower-cycles-revolution-w.md) - [Speed Record-Setting E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erockit-one.md) - [Brushless Motor Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt-texa.md) - [High-Speed Electric Dirtbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stark-varg.md) - [Lightweight High-Power E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chimera-bmx.md) - [High-Performance Commuter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-graffiti.md) - [Powerful Performance E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-e-cheetah.md) - [Featherweight Gravel E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/featherweight-gravel-ebike.md) - [Lightweight Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-electric-motorbike.md)
