Compact Last-Mile Commuter Bikes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Urban Bicycle' is Lightweight for Carrying Between Rides

— June 5, 2018 — Art & Design
The conceptual 'Urban Bicycle' has been designed as a piece of equipment for modern consumers to utilize as part of their commute to easily make it through the last-mile portion with ease.

Lightweight and completely collapsible, the bicycle is suitable for riding after you've gotten out of your vehicle, hopped off the train or if you live relatively close to work and aren't traveling too far. The integrated loop handlebar locking system eliminates the need to carry additional locks with you to ensure you're always able to secure it wherever you go.

The conceptual 'Urban Bicycle' is the design work of Zheren Zheng and can be easily stored in your home or office between uses thanks to the discreet aesthetic that allows it to be placed out of sight.
Trend Themes
1. Last-mile Commuting - The lightweight and collapsible design provides an opportunity for creating efficient and environmentally-friendly last-mile commuting solutions for urban areas.
2. Integrated Locking Systems - The integration of lock systems opens innovative opportunities for bicycle accessories such as smart locks that can offer added security and convenience.
3. Discreet Aesthetics - The market demand for minimal and discreet aesthetics creates opportunities for compact and sleek designs of transportation solutions.
Industry Implications
1. Bicycle Manufacturing - Collapsible bicycles could have significant impacts on the bicycle manufacturing industry while opening new opportunities related to improving supply chains.
2. Urban Transportation - There is an opportunity to address the last-mile transportation needs of urban commuters while strategizing to decrease emissions and congestion in urban areas.
3. Smart Lock Market - The growth of the compact, integrated locking system can provide market opportunities for startups providing smart locking mechanisms for bicycles.
