Puffy Scooter-Warming Jackets

These Chinese Scooter Accessories Keep Riders Cozy in the Winter

— November 14, 2013 — Autos
Driving a scooter in the winter can be impractical for those who live in colder climates, but these Chinese scooter accessories help to keep riders nice and toasty when the temperature drops.

Wearing a blanket while you're scooting about town seems like a strange idea, but if it's going to extend the season that you can ride a vehicle that is open to the air, perhaps this isn't such a terrible idea — although it does look a little silly.

There are several types of scooter-warming accessories which are gaining popularity in China: one, that modestly covers the driver's lap, another that provides an apron-like covering and an outrageous design that is essentially like a full winter coat for your scooter. As silly as these might seem, for a price of just about $3, this may be a more practical investment than buying a car for those cold winter rides.
Trend Themes
1. Scooter-warming Accessories - The trend of developing innovative scooter-warming accessories is growing, providing opportunities for businesses to create new products for riders who live in colder climates.
2. Winter Vehicle Accessories - The trend of developing winter vehicle accessories provides opportunities for businesses to create products that extend the usability of open-air vehicles in cold weather.
3. Affordable Winter Mobility Solutions - The trend of providing affordable winter mobility solutions, such as scooter-warming accessories, can disrupt traditional transportation methods in colder regions and provide new opportunities for businesses.
Industry Implications
1. Outdoor Recreation - The outdoor recreation industry can capitalize on the trend of scooter-warming accessories by developing new products that keep riders warm while engaging in outdoor activities during colder months.
2. Automotive Accessories - The automotive accessories industry can leverage the trend of winter vehicle accessories by creating new products that improve the functionality of open-air vehicles in cold weather.
3. Personal Mobility - The personal mobility industry can benefit from the trend of affordable winter mobility solutions by creating new products and services that provide accessible transportation options in colder regions.
