Italian City Car-Inspired Scooters

The Tri-GO Scooter Gets its Look from the Fiat 500

— May 25, 2013 — Autos
Tobias-Windsor Wayland is the designer behind the Tri-Go Scooter. His scooter concept is inspired by the Fiat 500, the Italian city car currently attempting to take the U.S. by storm, and is powered by electricity. The Tri-GO is powered by an electric engine capable of going as fast as 28 mph and as far as 31 miles. Its battery is a 48V 10Ah lithium-ion that is said to charge in as fast as two hours from a standard wall outlet.

The Tri-GO Scooter also comes with an iPod dock, a feature which should appeal to urbanites. Although it is still a concept, don't be shocked if scooters designed in the mold of the Tri-GO become more common in America's bigger cities. After all, bicycles make people sweat and don't come with iPhone docks.
Trend Themes
1. Electric City-inspired Scooters - Opportunity to disrupt traditional gas-powered scooter market with more eco-friendly and modern designs.
2. Smart Features Integration in Two-wheeled Vehicles - Room for innovation by integrating technology such as iPod docks to cater to today's tech-savvy consumers.
3. Alternative Transportation for Urban Dwellers - Growing trend towards more sustainable and convenient transportation options in crowded cities, with electric scooters offering a practical solution.
Industry Implications
1. Electric Vehicle Manufacturing - Manufacturers can capitalize on the increase in demand for eco-friendly alternatives by designing and producing electric city-inspired scooters.
2. Smart Technology - Smart technology companies can develop cutting-edge features such as IoT capabilities, navigational systems and smartphone controls for maximum convenience and efficiency.
3. Sharing Economy - Opportunity for companies in the sharing economy to invest in fleets of electric scooters for rent or ride-sharing services in urban areas.
