# Skeletally Constructed eBikes The Conceptual 'Skeleton' Electric Bike by Gary Liao is Futuristic By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-06-18 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skeleton-electric-bike References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2021/06/18/this-ebike-for-future-metropolis-is-designed-with-a-frame-inspired-by-the-human-bone-structure/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+yankodesign+%28Yanko+Design+-+Form+Beyond+Function%29) & [garyliao2015.wixsite](https://garyliao2015.wixsite.com/garyliao/skeleton) The conceptual 'Skeleton' electric bike has been designed by Gary Liao as an [eco-friendly transportation solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethunder) that works to mimic the human body's bone structure. The electric bike maintains an upright riding position that calls to mind Dutch-style bikes that are built for short commutes in urban areas, while also making it easier to maneuver in tighter spaces. The bone pillar maintains a hollow construction yet still provides a strength that is similar to concrete and steel. The conceptual 'Skeleton' electric bike can be switched between speed-assist modes through the [mid-mounted motor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bike-concept-design) that provides power to the rear wheel. The battery is fit into the rear of the frame similar to a diskette, which makes it easier for riders to remove and recharge at the end of the day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 64% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Skeletally Constructed Bikes:** Creating skeletal bike frames that mimic bone structure can disrupt the design and manufacturing processes of traditional bikes. - **Eco-friendly Transportation Solutions:** Designing eco-friendly transportation solutions like the Skeleton electric bike can provide a disruptive alternative for the urban commuter market. - **Mid-mounted Motors:** Integrating mid-mounted motors into bikes like the Skeleton electric bike can provide a disruptive innovation opportunity for the electric bike market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bicycle Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can integrate skeletal structures to change the traditional bicycle design process, providing an opportunity to disrupt the bicycle manufacturing industry. - **Sustainable Transportation:** Eco-friendly transportation solutions like the Skeleton electric bike can disrupt the traditional transportation industry by meeting the needs of a growing environmentally-conscious population. - **Electric Bike Production:** Integrating mid-mounted motors into bikes like the Skeleton electric bike can disrupt the production and design processes of traditional electric bikes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Convertible Electric Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-electric-bicycle.md) - [Sleekly Assistive Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-fixie.md) - [Neo-Urbanite Off-Grid eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethunder-electric-bike.md) - [Cyberpunk Cityscape Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ayra-bike.md) - [Futuristic E-Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebike-concept.md) - [Shapeshifting Trunk-Friendly Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pxid-a1.md) - [Removable Headlight eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bike-concept-design.md) - [Angular Enclosed Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-cargo-bike.md) - [Hybrid Design Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instinct-electric-motorcycle.md)
