# Transforming Scooter Skateboards The 2 in 1 Board Provides a Pop-Out Arm Support When You Want it By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-11-20 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2-in-1-board References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/08/30/kickskateboard/) A garage can really fill up quickly if you feel like you have to have every sort of sporty conveyance. The 2 in 1 Board saves you space and offers you some rare flexibility, thanks to a design that combines the functionality of two different objects. Jeong Woo Park has created a fully functioning skateboard that has the dimensions, the shape, the curves and the four-wheeled structure that's common. What's unique about it is that the deck contains a folded up handlebar system that can be hinged out and up for perpendicular placement with the help of a bearing. The retractable handgrips spread upwards from their compact position that's flush with the foot panel when they're not in use. Switch between a hands-free ride and a supported one with the hybrid scooter 2 in 1 Board. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Multifunctional Sports Equipment:** Designing sports equipment that serves multiple purposes, such as combining skateboarding and scootering, offers convenience and flexibility for users. - **Space-saving Designs:** Creating compact and collapsible sports equipment helps save storage space and makes it easier to carry and transport. - **Innovative Transforming Mechanisms:** Developing innovative folding and retractable mechanisms in sports equipment allows for seamless transitions between different modes of use. ### Who This Affects Most - **Sports Equipment Manufacturing:** Manufacturers can explore designing and producing multifunctional sports equipment to meet the growing demand for versatile and space-saving products. - **Outdoor Recreation:** The outdoor recreation industry can leverage space-saving and multifunctional designs to provide customers with convenient and adaptable gear for various activities. - **Urban Mobility:** Companies in the urban mobility sector can incorporate transforming mechanisms into their products, providing commuters with flexible, compact, and efficient transportation options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Two-in-One Scooter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popup-scooter.md) - [Skateboard-Inspired Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bustin-boards-skatex.md) - [Shareable Storage-Packed eScooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/along-electric-scooter-concept.md) - [Multifunctional Personal Mobility Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modi.md) - [Modular Monowheel Hoverboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/naowheel.md) - [Dual-Posture Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hybrid-escooter.md) - [Multi-Person Scooter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scooter-platform.md) - [Folding User-Friendly Urban Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-scooter-concept.md) - [Two-Wheeled Surfing-Inspired Skateboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surf-skateboard.md)
