# Urban Car Bike Hybrids The Audi Nexus Blends a Car’s Stability with a Bike’s Pure Urba By Akihiko Tse | Published 2013-10-04 | Updated 2013-11-03 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-nexus References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/10/04/heart-of-a-car-soul-of-a-motorcycle/) & [blog.derestricted](http://blog.derestricted.com/design/marco-wilhelm-audi-nexus-project/) Melding the designs of both a motorcycle and a car, the Audi Nexus brings urban mobility to the next level. The concept design by Audi Design Concept Studio and KISKA design, the Audi Nexus is a four-wheeled bike-###-car, measuring no wider than a big scooter. While the design guarantees the thrills of riding a motorcycle—navigating quickly between traffic and leaning into corners—the Audi Nexus also offers the comfort and safety of a four-wheeled car. The dynamic urban vehicle’s seat can be folded to give the urban mobilizer a sleek, silhouetted look, which also comes with a roller coaster-inspired lock-in mechanism to compensate for the seat belt. The Nexus is operated by two handle sticks that, again, mimic a car driver’s experience of steering a wheel while giving the driver the rush of riding a motorcycle. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hybrid Vehicles:** The Audi Nexus blends the stability of a car with the agility of a motorcycle, showcasing the trend of hybrid vehicles for urban mobility. - **Urban Mobility Solutions:** The Audi Nexus addresses the need for innovative urban mobility solutions by combining the convenience and safety of a four-wheeled car with the thrill of riding a motorcycle. - **Compact Personal Transportation:** With its compact size and sleek design, the Audi Nexus exemplifies the growing trend of compact personal transportation options for urban dwellers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** The Audi Nexus showcases disruptive innovation potential in the automotive industry by exploring new designs and possibilities for urban transportation. - **Design:** The collaboration between Audi Design Concept Studio and KISKA design highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the design industry, specifically in the field of urban mobility. - **Transportation:** The Audi Nexus demonstrates disruptive innovation opportunities in the transportation sector by reimagining personal transportation methods for urban environments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Transforming Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-vista-roadster.md) - [Agile Four-Wheeled eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bike-car-hybrid.md) - [Lightweight Four-Wheeled Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activcycle.md) - [Three-Wheel Pod EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-nimbus-one.md) - [Oversized Well-Appointed Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-urbansphere-concept.md) - [Automotive Brand Exercise Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-smart-spinning-bike.md) - [Hybrid Design Commuter Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-city-car.md) - [Motorcycle-Inspired Nanocars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nanocar.md) - [Futuristic Single-Seater Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/future-mobility-concept.md)
