Their retro moped is called 'Deus Electric.' The scooter portion of the design was based on the [Honda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebike-design-1) Cub 90, which is essentially a small but powerful motorcycle. Deus Electirc is infused with pieces of a pedal bicycle that can be seen in the handlebars and the small cushioned seat. The use of a headlight taken from a car also gives the moped an old-school feel. The bike is small but powerful and uses a long bodied frame to allow the user to feel like they are riding a [Harley Davidson](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mod-easy-sidecar-3) motorcycle. It is decorated with classic black and gold paint to complete the vintage look. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Moped Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine elements of electric scooters and pedal bikes to create unique and stylish retro mopeds. - **Motorcycle Bicycle Hybrids:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Fuse the power of motorcycles with the convenience and eco-friendliness of bicycles to create innovative hybrid vehicles. - **Vintage-inspired Electric Vehicles:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Merge old-school aesthetics with modern electric technology to create retro-inspired electric vehicles. ### Where This Applies - **Electric Vehicle Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop and produce electric vehicles with a retro design that appeal to consumers looking for unique transportation options. - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of electric and motorcycle elements into bicycles, catering to a wider range of consumers with differing needs and preferences. - **Automotive Aftermarket:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer customization and retro-modification services for existing electric vehicles, providing consumers with the option to transform their vehicles into vintage-inspired masterpieces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cutely Compact Commuter Mopeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-bike.md) - [Multifunctional Hybrid Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-mobility.md) - [Hybridized Police Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/police-scooter.md) - [Two-in-One Scooter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popup-scooter.md) - [Affordable Moped E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revv1.md) - [Retro-Inspired Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachman.md) - [Hybrid Design Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prozui-electric-scooter.md) - [Modular Electric Mopeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epa1.md) - [Moped-Style E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prima-e5.md)
