# Wind-Powered Alien Planet Bicycles The Conceptual NASA Bike Helps with Transportation on Mars By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2020-10-20 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nasa-bike References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2020/10/19/this-wind-powered-bike-nasa-bike-concept-wants-to-conquer-transportation-on-mars/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+yankodesign+%28Yanko+Design+-+Form+Beyond+Function%29) The conceptual [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metl-tire) Bike has been designed by Simon Grytten as a transportation solution for Mars explorers that would enable them to get around the alien environment without the need for third-party energy sources. The bike features a [self-sustaining design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mag-drive) that would be capable of harnessing its own power from the wind when not in use. This would help to make the storms that are quite prominent on the alien planet more beneficial to those who are exploring and creating a base for other researchers to join. The conceptual NASA Bike maintains a decidedly [futuristic aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dab-1-transparent-edition) that identifies what could be done to help make life on the planet a little bit easier for brave explorers forging the path for future generations. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Self-sustaining Transportation:** Designing transportation solutions that can harness their own power sources, like wind, offers disruptive innovation opportunities for creating self-sufficient vehicles. - **Renewable Energy Utilization:** Exploring ways to tap into renewable energy, such as wind, for powering transportation devices opens up disruptive innovation possibilities for energy-efficient mobility solutions across industries. - **Futuristic Aesthetics:** Embracing futuristic aesthetic designs in transportation concepts can drive disruptive innovations and enhance user experience within the industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Transportation:** Developing self-sustaining transportation solutions powered by renewable energy sources, such as wind, presents disruptive innovation opportunities within the transportation industry. - **Renewable Energy:** Exploring the utilization of wind and other renewable energy sources to power transportation devices creates disruptive innovation prospects within the renewable energy industry. - **Design:** Incorporating futuristic aesthetics in transportation designs can foster disruptive innovations and create new opportunities within the design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Solar-Powered E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stellar-landcraft.md) - [Solar-Powered Sleek Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-solaris.md) - [Angular Enclosed Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-cargo-bike.md) - [Solar-Powered Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-cargo-bike.md) - [Futuristic E-Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebike-concept.md) - [Neo-Urbanite Off-Grid eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethunder-electric-bike.md) - [Regenerative Cycling Equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/energy-keeper.md) - [Hybrid Balloon-Tired Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plan-b-motorbike.md) - [Solar-Powered Charging Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-mars-bot.md)
