This cool velocipede concept is particularly compelling for two reasons: one being its [electric power capabilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike-design); the other its unconventional form. On the 'ZigZag' by Daniel Castillo Builes you can find the two supporting wheels on the back, as opposed to the tried and true traditional penny-farthing model. Made of aluminum alloy 6161 and strapped with two 24V batteries, a 350W hub motor and a storage rack, this three-wheeler can transport you 10 to 15 kmph. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Electric One-wheelers:** The 'ZigZag' by Daniel Castillo Builes showcases the trend of electric-powered single-wheel vehicles. - **User-friendly Unicycles:** The 'ZigZag' by Daniel Castillo Biules represents a trend in creating unicycles with improved stability and ease of use. - **Alternative Bicycle Designs:** The 'ZigZag' by Daniel Castillo Builes highlights the trend of innovative and unconventional bicycle designs. ### Where This Applies - **Electric Vehicle Industry:** The electric one-wheeler trend opens up opportunities for growth and innovation within the electric vehicle industry. - **Sports and Recreation Industry:** User-friendly unicycles like the 'ZigZag' present disruptive innovation opportunities in the sports and recreation industry. - **Design and Manufacturing Industry:** The trend of alternative bicycle designs, exemplified by the 'ZigZag', offers potential for innovation and product diversification within the design and manufacturing industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comfortable Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-front-wheel-electric.md) - [Electric Three-Wheeled Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kettwiesel-one-plus.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Slick Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-tricycles1.md) - [Recumbent Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle.md) - [Incline-Scaling Electric Unicycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inclinescaling-electric-unicycle.md) - [Tri-Fold Unibody Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onebots7.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [High-Performance Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meet-one-trike-tour.md)
