# Convertible Street Bikes Shavit Motorcycle Concept Instantly Goes from Crotch Rocket to Cruiser By Michael Hines | Published 2011-07-17 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shavit-motorcycle-concept References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/futuristic-shavit-electric-superbike-features-adjustable-riding-position-system/) The Shavit motorcycle concept is an [electric super-bike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolette-shockwave) designed to seamlessly convert into an [everyday cruiser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duomick). The Shavit fills the wide gap between the high-powered street bikes that easily top out at over 100 mph and the larger and slower cruiser and touring bikes that are designed for comfortable and long rides. The Shavit has a fierce look that suggests it could do zero to 60 in the blink of an eye. That look can be flipped on its head with the touch of a button, as the seat of the bike goes from an upraised and forward position to a centered and level one. This small change in seat position lets riders do it all, allowing them to tear up the city streets one minute while cruising down them in peace and quiet the next. The fact that the bike is [electric powered](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethunder) means that rides will unfortunately be shorter, but a whole lot cleaner and greener. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: 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 - **Convertible Motorcycles:** Creating motorcycles that seamlessly convert from high-powered street bikes to everyday cruisers. - **Electric Motorbikes:** Designing electric-powered motorcycles for cleaner and greener rides. - **Dual-use Features:** Incorporating innovative features that allow riders to switch between different modes and riding styles on motorcycles. ### Where This Applies - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore innovative designs and technologies to create convertible motorcycles. - **Electric Vehicle Industry:** The electric vehicle industry can expand its offerings by developing electric motorbikes. - **Automotive Accessories:** Companies can develop accessories and components to support the dual-use features of convertible motorcycles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Convertible Electric Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-electric-bicycle.md) - [Shapeshifting Superbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercycle.md) - [Shapeshifting Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sony-x-honda-evolve.md) - [Transforming Electric Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triso-electric-motorcycle.md) - [Four-in-One E-Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wayra-ev.md) - [Retro-Inspired Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachman.md) - [60s-Inspired Electric Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robert-turner.md) - [Transforming Commuter Kick Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beam-scooter.md) - [Shapeshifting Railway Inspection Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/railway-motorcycle.md)
