# Pocket Pedal-Powered Submarines The Scubster is the First Ever Submarine 'Driven' on Human Power By Josh Milenthal | Published 2010-08-30 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pedal-powered-scubster-submarine References: [scubster.org](http://www.scubster.org/eng-home.html) The pedal-powered Scubster submarine is certainly the greenest source of underwater locomotion you've ever seen, if not the most cutely named. The Scubster is designed for shallow ocean and river excursions, and produced with millionaires in mind: the creator believes it may capture the imagination of owners of [super yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-16) and the like. The exclusively [pedal powered Scubster submarine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otter-bike-explorer) requires the driver to wear an oxygen tank, limiting the time underwater. I think I'll have to pass on this purchase, but I can see the attraction of a [pocket submarine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kikfin) to fool around with. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pedal-powered Submarines:** The Scubster demonstrates the potential for human-powered underwater transportation, leading to opportunities for eco-friendly leisure activities and exploration. - **Green Underwater Locomotion:** The Scubster showcases the demand for sustainable solutions in the marine industry, paving the way for innovations in eco-friendly underwater vehicles. - **Pocket Submersibles:** The Scubster's compact design appeals to the luxury market, offering opportunities for compact, personal submarines for recreational use. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Marine Tourism:** The Scubster opens up possibilities for human-powered submarines as a unique and eco-conscious experience for tourists seeking underwater adventures. - **Yacht Industry:** The Scubster's appeal to super yacht owners sparks the potential for integrating pedal-powered mini submarines as an exclusive feature or accessory. - **Eco-luxury Design:** The Scubster's emphasis on eco-friendly underwater transportation presents opportunities for the development of stylish and sustainable submersibles for high-end consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Arm-Attached Underwater Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-scooters.md) - [Compact Luxury Submersibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hightech-submersible.md) - [Lightweight Underwater Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/subnado.md) - [Intuitive Underwater Scuba Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surando-underwater-scooter.md) - [Personal Aquatic Scooter Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/underwater-scooter-concept.md) - [Tourism-Focused Electric Submersibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-submersible.md) - [Miniature Playful Sea Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geneinno-s2.md) - [Supercar-Inspired Submersibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uboat-worx-super-sub.md) - [Dual-Motor Underwater Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sublue-navbow-underwater-scooter.md)
