Transforming Russian Pod Cars

The Bravo Motors eTrike Clears up Traffic Jams in the Motherland

— August 26, 2013 — Autos
The Bravo Motors eTrike is a new Russian pod car that could revolutionize how those from the Motherland travel. The trike is powered by electricity and can transform to suit its driver's needs. The eTrike has a stop speed of 55 mph and can fold itself up to weave in and out of heavy traffic.

Bravo Motors touts the eTrike as a vehicle fit for both sidewalks and streets. While the safety of driving an electric pod car on the sidewalk (or the street, for that matter) is debatable, the trike admittedly performs okay in the promotional video. That being said, the Bravo Motors eTrike seems to lack basic creature comforts and safety features. Still, it's a solid concept and it will be interesting to see how Bravo Motors improves upon it.
Trend Themes
1. Electric Pod Cars - There is an opportunity to disrupt the transportation industry by creating electric pod cars that can weave in and out of heavy traffic.

3. Sidewalk Transportation - There is an opportunity to disrupt the urban mobility industry by creating vehicles that can be driven on sidewalks, providing a new mode of transportation in congested urban environments.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Industry - The automotive industry can take advantage of electric pod cars and transformable vehicles by creating improved models that meet consumer demands.
2. Manufacturing Industry - The manufacturing industry can capitalize on creating and producing innovative transport technologies that can be personalized for the consumers' needs.
3. Urban Mobility Industry - The urban mobility industry can benefit from developing new modes of transportation, such as vehicles that can be driven on sidewalks, for congested cities with limited transportation options.
