While most cars are grinding to a prolonged halt twice between each intersection, you can attempt to bolt along the curbside in your sick [sleek vehicle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-solaris). Lauren Davison, a student of San Jose State University, California, came up with this [cutting concept for a supercharged two-wheeler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/c6). Much of its impressive mechanics are visible along the side of the ride, inciting awe from envious pedestrians and drivers. The honed silver shell of the body is what really snags people's attention on the Urban Streamline Motorcycle. Barb-like curves and sharp points give the impression that this chopper would literally slice through the air. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Sleek Motorcycle Designs:** Designing motorcycles with sleek shapes and sharp angles to create a more efficient and stylish look. - **City Mobility Solutions:** Developing new and innovative ways for urban transportation to move smoothly and efficiently through city streets. - **Visible Mechanics on Vehicles:** Incorporating visible mechanics and unique features into vehicle designs to create a more awe-inspiring experience and set vehicles apart from the rest. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** Creating new designs for motorcycles that prioritize agility and style in an urban environment could disrupt the traditional automotive industry. - **Transportation:** The Urban Streamline Motorcycle represents a potential solution to the growing problem of congested city streets and could disrupt the transportation industry. - **Industrial Design:** Incorporating unique and visually appealing mechanics into designs for vehicles like the Urban Streamline Motorcycle could disrupt the traditional industrial design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dapper Dual-Tone Superbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-motorrad-ch4-superbike.md) - [Transparent Electric Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crdos-ghost-concept-motorcycle.md) - [Futuristic Concept Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-motorcycle1.md) - [Shapeshifting Superbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercycle.md) - [Angular Futuristic Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-crs01.md) - [Futuristic Single-Seater Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-mobility-concept.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Superbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akiraducati-superbike.md) - [Elegant Shape-Shifting Concept Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/concept-bike1.md) - [Barebones Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbones-motorcycle.md)
