This particular [electric cruiser motorcycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canam-electric-motorcycles), set to be introduced to the public at AIMExpo 2017 in Ohio, is set to be equipped with a battery pack capable of churning out up to 27 kilowatt-hours, allowing the bike's riders to enjoy a range of as much as 270 km. With a five-speed gearbox, two engine settings and its estimated range, this electric motorcycle is squarely targeted in the direction of urban motorbike users looking for a safe and high-performance two-wheeler, rather than off-road adrenaline junkies. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Urbanized Electric Motorcycles:** The trend of urbanized electric motorcycles presents an opportunity for manufacturers to cater to city-dwelling riders with high-performance and environmentally friendly vehicles. - **High-end Off-road Motorcycles:** The trend of high-end off-road motorcycles offers an opportunity for manufacturers to create powerful and advanced bikes for outdoor enthusiasts. - **Electric Cruiser Motorcycles:** The trend of electric cruiser motorcycles provides an opportunity for manufacturers to offer a combination of style, comfort, and eco-friendliness for urban riders. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Motorcycle Manufacturing:** This industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by focusing on the production of urbanized electric motorcycles to meet the demand of city-dwelling riders. - **Battery Technology:** This industry can seize disruptive innovation opportunities by developing more efficient and powerful batteries to enhance the performance and range of electric motorcycles. - **Urban Transportation:** The urban transportation industry can capitalize on disruptive innovation opportunities presented by the trend of electric cruiser motorcycles to provide eco-friendly and efficient options for city commuters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Returning Italian E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tacita-discanto.md) - [Urban Pursuit Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cfmoto-300-gt.md) - [Retro-Inspired Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachman.md) - [Connected Eco Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebeta-electric-cafe-cruiser.md) - [Long-Range Motorcycle-Style Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raptee-t30.md) - [Urban-Centric Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ce-02.md) - [Ultra Long-Range E-Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evoke-6061-xr.md) - [Indian Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evtric-rise.md) - [Eco-Friendly Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-electric-scooter.md)
