Designed by Japan-based [ICOMA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tatamel), the bike feature a [folding design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vika-x) that will open to reveal ample area for the rider to sit as they speed along. The bike will collapse down into a cubicly shaped unit that would be capable of being stored under a desk to make it great for riders to bring into their office space for charging and increased security. The Tatamel Bike is presently under development with a motor that would achieve a top speed of 40kmh and a range of 50km. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 100% | Activity: 97% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Office-friendly Electric Bikes:** Electric bikes designed for convenient and secure storage in office spaces offer opportunities for disrupting the traditional commuting and transportation industry. - **Foldable and Compact Bike Designs:** Innovative foldable bike designs that prioritize storage space and convenience can disrupt the transportation and exercise equipment industries. - **Electric Commuter Bikes:** More affordable and efficient electric bikes for daily commuting can disrupt the traditional car-centric transportation industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** As more people seek alternative transportation methods, electric bikes could disrupt the traditional car industry. - **Office Supplies and Furniture:** Designing furniture and office spaces to accommodate personal transportation devices such as bikes can lead to innovative office supply solutions. - **Fitness and Exercise Equipment:** Foldable and compact bike designs with electric power can disrupt the traditional fitness and exercise equipment industry by providing an accessible and convenient solution to cardio workouts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miniature Foldable Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tatamel.md) - [Workstation-Equipped Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buck-bike.md) - [Shapeshifting Trunk-Friendly Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pxid-a1.md) - [Collapsible Commuter E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collapsible-commuter-ebike.md) - [Folding Commuter E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foldtan-m160.md) - [Hyper-Compact Commuter eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epopcycle.md) - [Folding Cargo E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-ebike.md) - [Collapsible Commuter Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aventon-sinch.md) - [Expandable Electric Cargo Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-folding-cargo-bike.md)
