# Slender Urban E-Bikes The 'Strom City' Bike Blends Svelte Design with Modern Two-Wheeler Tech By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2018-04-11 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-ebike References: [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/strom-city-a-feature-packed-and-affordable-e-bike#/) & [stroembikes](https://stroembikes.com/en/) Danish company Strom Bikes is introducing a slimmed-down urban e-bike that takes the best pieces of technology from its more rugged Fatbike and applies it to a two-wheeler solution that is designed to get around crowded city streets. Aptly named the Strom City, this urban e-bike can be obtained with either a full-electric or partial pedal assist drive, not to mention an easily retractable battery that users can take with them once they're done a ride, making it easier than ever to ensure a bike is all charged up before hitting the road again. Weighing in at only 19.5 kilograms, the Strom City is [exceptionally lightweight](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ponomarets-eidolon), and also comes with other bonuses such as [puncture-free tires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heybike-ec-compact), a USB socket and handlebar-mounted LED display, making this a truly consummate and technologically advanced urban e-bike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Slim City E-bikes:** Opportunity for companies to create lighter, more ergonomic and technologically advanced urban e-bikes. - **Retractable Batteries for E-bikes:** Opportunity for companies to develop easy-to-remove and rechargeable batteries for e-bikes. - **Puncture-free Tires for Bikes:** Opportunity for companies to innovate and create more durable and maintenance-free bike tires. ### Where This Applies - **Electric Bike Industry:** Companies in the electric bike industry can focus on R&D to create more technologically advanced and ergonomic e-bikes for urban commuters. - **Battery Industry:** Companies in the battery industry can develop easy-to-remove and rechargeable batteries for e-bikes to increase their popularity and convenience. - **Tire Industry:** Companies in the tire industry can focus on developing innovative puncture-free bike tires that require less maintenance and upkeep. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Customizable Urban Commuter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stromer-st3.md) - [Nimble Urban eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nimble-urban-ebikes.md) - [Neo-Urbanite Off-Grid eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethunder-electric-bike.md) - [Subtly Sleek eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleek-ebike.md) - [Swiss Commuter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/st5.md) - [Minimalist Commuter E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pendler-1.md) - [Urban Environment Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chord.md) - [Long-Range Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stromer-st7-speed-pedelec.md) - [German Streetwear Bicycle Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storck-name2.md)
