The life-sized 'Motorcycle Man Sculpture' is an amazing [recycled art installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/basket-sculptures) by 'Robosteel.' Based on the original digital sketch created by illustrator and graphic design artist Simon Roberts, the huge [metal sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflector-sculpture) took more than 750 hours to construct.

The Carole Nash International [Motorcycle and Scooter Show](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c6) contributed to the concept used by 'Robosteel.' The result is a life-sized recycled man made of recycled parts and pure imagination.

**Implications** - Recycled products instantly gain consumer attention as a reflection of the environmental movement. These motorcycle man sculptures are the perfect mix between recycling and technology. Technological recycling appeals to consumers who want new technology, yet appreciate a mix of old and new.
