# Eco-Friendly Choppers Orange County Choppers Design Electric Motorcycle for Siemens By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-08-13 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orange-county-choppers References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2009/08/orange-county-c.php) & [wired](http://www.wired.com/autopia/2009/08/occ-electric-chopper/) You can probably hear the Orange County Choppers flying down the highway from a good couple of miles away, but now when they come on their new [electric motorcycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wn7) it’ll be a little more [eco-friendly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethunder) (should they choose to ride them). The electric bike was designed for tech mogul [Siemens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simulation-platform). The Orange County Choppers created a modern and sleek EV that doesn’t have the power or sound of the bikes they’re used to, but it is for a good cause (nothing specific, just the environment). It goes a top speed of 100 mph, so it isn’t a complete sissy (by Orange County Chopper standards), but I would say these pictures are the only time you’ll catch Paul Sr. on one of these bad boys. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electric Motorcycles:** The trend of electric motorcycles presents disruptive innovation opportunities for manufacturers to create eco-friendly alternatives with comparable power and performance. - **Sustainable Transportation:** The trend of sustainable transportation offers disruptive innovation opportunities for companies to design and produce environmentally friendly vehicles that reduce emissions and promote greener commuting options. - **Collaborative Partnerships:** The trend of collaborative partnerships between tech companies and motorcycle manufacturers provides disruptive innovation opportunities to create innovative and sustainable mobility solutions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** The motorcycle manufacturing industry can leverage the trend of electric motorcycles to embrace sustainability and develop eco-friendly models that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Automotive Manufacturing:** The automotive manufacturing industry can explore the trend of sustainable transportation to develop and produce electric vehicles that reduce carbon emissions and contribute to a greener future. - **Technology:** The technology industry can engage in collaborative partnerships with motorcycle manufacturers to integrate advanced technologies into electric motorcycles, enhancing their performance and expanding their market appeal. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [High-Performance Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/davinci-dc100-electric-motorcycle.md) - [Solar-Powered Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/e-clipse-2.md) - [Angular Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecodryft.md) - [Electric Cafe Racer Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-ioniq-q.md) - [Connected Eco Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebeta-electric-cafe-cruiser.md) - [Chic EV Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/senmenti-0-electric-motorcycle.md) - [Tech-Packed Electric Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecaf-racer-by-ox.md) - [Cutting-Edge Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/te1.md) - [Electric Sporting Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/7000-d.md)
