# Transforming Bicycles The MC2 Transforming Bike Can Be Configured in Eight Different Ways By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-08-29 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transforming-bike References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/mc2-transforming-bike/33581/) & [mc2bike](http://www.mc2bike.com/) The MC2 is a transforming bike manufactured by Singapore-based company IDSG Engineering and Trading. This peculiar bike has a [hinged frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bromptons-g-line) that allows it to be set into eight different configurations. Some of the configurations require a different seat to be swapped in and may appear intimidating at first, but they allow for a wide variety of uses. The configurations range from upright and [recumbent exercise modes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle) to sport and cruiser modes. Some of the other interesting features of the MC2 transforming bike include its parallelogram-style suspension seatpost and a nifty handlebar height adjustment mechanism that can be set in place with nothing more than a flick of a lever. The MC2's manufacturer hasn't revealed when the bike will be available or how much it will cost. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Transforming Bicycles:** MC2 transforming bike changes into 8 different configurations. - **Customizable Bikes:** Bicycles that can be configured for different purposes. - **Innovative Bike Designs:** Bike manufacturers making bikes with a variety of interesting features. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Sporting Goods:** Sporting goods companies can invest in developing customizable bikes for different sports. - **Manufacturing:** Manufacturing companies can invest in innovative bike designs with unique features, such as the MC2's suspension seatpost and handlebar height adjustment. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Outdoor recreation companies can offer customizable bikes for different terrains and activities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shapeshifting Superbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercycle.md) - [Shapeshifting Urban Commuter Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mgx-trike-concept.md) - [Multifunctional Hybrid Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-mobility.md) - [Adventurous Folding Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flatbike-change-adventure.md) - [Dual-Mode Mobility Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duomick.md) - [Convertible Electric Bike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gravity-electric-bicycle.md) - [Consummately Customizable Commuter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/customizable-commuter-bike.md) - [Transforming Electric Unicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titaa.md) - [Wheel-Wedging Folding Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wheel-wedging-folding-bicycle.md)
