Zorb-Like Urban Trikes

The Bemoove Tricycle is an Agile City Vehicle with a 360-Degree View

— May 1, 2013 — Autos
There are certainly automobiles that have been designed with the metropolis in mind, as opposed to those that might specialize in rural transportation; the Bemoove concept car is one of the former, devised to deal with a chaotic environment.

The three-wheeled carbon fiber frame of this conveyance is lightweight and nimble. It's steered with a rubber and Kevlar rear wheel that rotates around two axes. High-traction tires keep the compact car on course, and capable of navigating heavy traffic and making quick turns and abrupt stops.

A transparent sphere is the driver's cabin. Its subtle soccer ball pattern distinguishes a system of inflatable pockets that keep the occupants protected from any impact. The clear material provides an unobstructed view for safer driving and a peek through the top reveals the city's spectacular highrises.
Trend Themes
1. Agile Urban Vehicles - The development of lightweight and flexible vehicles to navigate dense and busy cities.
2. Transparent and Inflatable Car Designs - The trend of vehicles with transparent cabins and inflatable safety features to minimize damage and provide a 360-degree view while driving.
3. Efficient Three-wheeled Transport - The rise of three-wheeled vehicles that offer a more eco-friendly and versatile alternative to traditional cars for urban commuting.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive - Developing new and innovative designs and technologies for urban-specific vehicles and exploring eco-friendly alternatives.
2. Transportation - Investing in new transportation solutions that address congestion and traffic in urban areas and prioritize safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
3. Safety and Security - Innovation in materials and technologies that enhance the safety and security of vehicles for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike in high-traffic urban areas.
