It's a fully operational scooter comprising a curved piece of wood that's strong enough to support your weight but light enough to be worn around the waist. It is fitted with [vertical handlebars divided into segments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-naowheel), allowing them to remain flexible until the inside strap is tightened, making the contraption rigid and ready to hit the sidewalk. The Belt Scooter offers a number of advantages over alternatives. Since it can so easily be worn around your waist, it's a lot less likely to be misplaced or stolen. It also takes up less space than [regular scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tltboard-gorilla) that you have to stash in your garage or balcony. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 68% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Wearable Scooters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new designs for wearable scooters that are more lightweight and comfortable. - **Convenient Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative solutions for compact and portable transportation devices that can be easily carried and stored. - **Smart Mobility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate smart features into wearable scooters to enhance user experience and enable connectivity. ### Where This Applies - **Personal Mobility:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new market segments for personal mobility devices, such as wearable scooters, targeting urban commuters. - **Outdoor Recreation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop compact and convenient transportation solutions for outdoor enthusiasts, combining functionality with portability. - **Urban Transportation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Address last-mile transportation challenges in urban areas by offering compact and easy-to-use wearable scooters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Impossibly Portable Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arma-scooter.md) - [Transforming Commuter Kick Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beam-scooter.md) - [Adaptive Mobility Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wimo-scooter.md) - [Shareable Storage-Packed eScooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/along-electric-scooter-concept.md) - [Multifunctional Commuter eScooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alienish-ongo.md) - [Folding Seated Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seated-scooter.md) - [Adaptable Comfort eScooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bee-electric-scooter.md) - [Folding User-Friendly Urban Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-scooter-concept.md) - [Robust Electric Kick Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-stand-bike.md)
