Priced at $1,995, the City Slicker urban motorcycle comes equipped with a 2.16 kilowatt-hour battery that allows you to achieve a top speed of 75 km/h, which is more than sufficient when zipping around city limits. What's more, the vehicle only takes six to eight hours to achieve a full charge, so it's easy to charge overnight. Developed by the [California Scooter Company](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finish-line-auto-club), the City Slicker is also lightweight, with its 98-kilogram structure easy to handle for both novice and experienced riders. As far as the design is concerned, this urban motorcycle features a handsome naked frame and minimalist amenities that prove its selling point as a no-frills urban transportation solution. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Electric Motorcycles:** The rise of affordable electric motorcycles offers a disruptive innovation opportunity in the transportation industry - **Urban Commuting:** The growing demand for cost-efficient and eco-friendly transportation creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the urban commuting sector - **Lightweight Vehicles:** The development of lightweight, compact vehicles presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the urban transportation sector ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Transportation:** The rise of affordable and eco-friendly electric motorcycles presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the transportation industry - **Automotive:** The demand for compact and lightweight urban vehicles creates an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry - **Green Energy:** The growing demand for eco-friendly modes of transportation presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the green energy industry ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Urban-Centric Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ce-02.md) - [Connected Urbanite Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pave-motors-bk-ebike.md) - [Extra-Compact Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c1x.md) - [Naked Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naked-electric-motorbikes.md) - [Quick-Charging Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fllow.md) - [Trail-Ready Commuter E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trailready-commuter-ebike.md) - [Stylish Electric Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nkd-x.md) - [Efficient Cyberpunk Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraviolette-shockwave.md) - [Simplified Single-Speed E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singlespeed-ebike.md)
