# Contemporary Cantilevered Mopeds The Royal Enfield Pioneer Swaps Classic Looks for Mod Geometries By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-02-24 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/royal-enfield-pioneer References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2014/02/24/sixth-sense-motorcycle/) The look of the [Royal Enfield Pioneer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elektrik01) will surprise you if you know a thing or two about this brand of vehicle. Enfield is known for its [classic automotive and aesthetic designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bobber-motorbikes), but timeless elegance is not what you will see in this modern machine. Daniel Lars Gunnarsson's concept completely reworks the body of the motorized two-wheeler in a way that emphasizes the strong horizontal connections and presents the seat as a slender and projecting element that's remarkably sharp. The dashboard is streamlined, simplified and arranged horizontally, contributing to the aerodynamic shape of the Royal Enfield Pioneer. The [e-motorcycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolette-shockwave) has softened geometric contours that bring a rationality to its smooth and asymmetrical shape. This is a new breed of motorbike that will appeal to seasoned and amateur riders alike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Geometric Motorcycles:** Designers and engineers can explore new shapes and forms to create visually striking motorcycles that break away from the traditional designs. - **Simplified Dashboards:** Streamlined and horizontally-arranged dashboards can contribute to the aerodynamic shape of modern motorcycles. - **Electric Motorcycles:** The rise of e-motorcycles presents an opportunity for designers and engineers to experiment with new designs that cater to eco-conscious consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Motorcycle manufacturers can explore the use of new materials and production techniques to create a new class of motorcycles with unique designs. - **Automotive Design:** Automotive designers can collaborate with motorcycle manufacturers to bring fresh perspectives in developing contemporary, geometric motorcycle designs. - **Electric Vehicle Manufacturing:** E-vehicle manufacturers can capitalize on the growing demand for eco-friendly motorcycles and expand their product lines to include sleek and modern e-motorcycles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Modern Moped Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moppe-apparatus-tdmp1.md) - [Electric Cruiser Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elektrik01.md) - [Angular Futuristic Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-crs01.md) - [Tech-Influenced Racer Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cafe-racer-concept.md) - [Angular Electric Motorbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-cp1-concept.md) - [Cantilevered Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-g7-scrambler.md) - [60s-Inspired Electric Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-turner.md) - [Redesigned Electric Race Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/64-street-spec-caf-racer.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md)
