Nicholas Kawamoto's Infernus is a beautiful take on [classic bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dab-1-transparent-edition). The Infernus bike is sizzling with style and futuristic looks. The bike consists of recycled RC parts, laser-cut acrylic, handcrafted blue foam, thermoformed styrene and plenty of other materials.

Nicholas Kawamoto's [stylish motorcycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducati-821) also has an asymmetrical frame, while the seat pads are capable of elevating and fold upwards.

**Implications** - As fuel prices continue to fluctuate, commuters are increasingly opting for mopeds, motorcycles and electric bicycles for a more budget-friendly commute. The growing demand for customized and personalized products, however, drives consumers to consider unique models that reflect their personality and sense of style rather than ubiquitous motorcycles sold wholesale.
