# Monster Bikes The BigDog is a Car-Crushing DIY Bicycle Monster Truck By Allison Love | Published 2010-07-18 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bigdog References: [thirstybeachlandscaping](http://www.thirstybeachlandscaping.com/quadbike/page11.html) The BigDog is a pretty badass [bicycle monster truck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-car-hybrid) that you can create with your own two hands. The BigDog is made out of bicycle wheels and what appear to be lawn chairs. The BigDog can hold up to [six people](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/btwin-f900e), weighs around 600 pounds and is even able to roll over a car. The BigDog actually looks like it would be a pretty sweet ride in that you could easily make all the annoying cars swiftly get out of your way. I love how it's made from bicycle wheels -- what an amazing DIY project for long summer days. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Bicycle Monster Trucks:** Creating your own DIY bicycle monster truck like the BigDog presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry. - **Car-crushing Bicycles:** Developing car-crushing bicycles like the BigDog opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry. - **Multi-passenger Monster Vehicles:** Designing multi-passenger monster vehicles, such as the BigDog, offers a potential for disruptive innovation in the recreational vehicle industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation:** The creation of DIY bicycle monster trucks can disrupt the transportation industry by offering an alternative mode of transportation. - **Automotive:** The development of car-crushing bicycles can introduce disruptive innovation in the automotive industry by providing a unique form of vehicle. - **Recreational Vehicles:** The design of multi-passenger monster vehicles like the BigDog has the potential to disrupt the recreational vehicle industry by offering a novel and thrilling experience for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Motor-Powered Diwheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-diwheel.md) - [Mammoth-Wheel Mountain Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plussize-bike.md) - [Gargantuan Electric-Assist Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electricassist-bike.md) - [Modular Electric Utility Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2x2-ultra-bike.md) - [Cargo-Friendly Off-Road eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velotric-nomad-2x.md) - [Powerful Bulky E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thearsenale.md) - [Dual-Rider E-Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mod-easy-sidecar-3.md) - [Compact Load-Hauling eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-cargo-ebike.md) - [Hybrid Balloon-Tired Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plan-b-motorbike.md)
