The advanced conveyance has a 5-inch touchscreen embedded between its handlebars, and that screen is equipped to run Android Oreo, the latest mobile operating system from [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polestar-3). As one might expect of a scooter embedded with a fully functional mobile touchscreen, the Citee Connect is an [electric scooter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infinite-machine-olto). It comes with a [250 watt motor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-electric-scooter) and a 5,000 mAh battery, giving it a range of 10 to 12 kilometers on a single charge. That battery takes between 4 and 5 hours to charge. Archos has already built tablets and drones, making it an ideal company to tackle a concept like the Citee Connect. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Smartphone-powered Scooters:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of smartphones and scooters for enhanced connectivity and functionality. - **Embedded Touchscreen Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new applications and features for touchscreen technology embedded in various transportation devices. - **Mobile Operating System Integration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative products by integrating mobile operating systems into unconventional devices, such as scooters. ### Who This Affects Most - **Electric Scooter Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate smartphone connectivity and touchscreen technology into electric scooter models. - **Tablet Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Extend the capabilities of tablets by integrating them with transportation devices like scooters. - **Consumer Electronics Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of integrating mobile operating systems into various consumer electronics, beyond smartphones or tablets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Android-Equipped E-Motorbikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odysse-vader.md) - [Connected Open-Frame E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hover-2.md) - [App-Enabled Electric Kickscooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appenabled-electric-kickscooters.md) - [RGB-Equipped E-Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atomi-alpha.md) - [Performance-Driven Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/predator-es-storm-pro.md) - [Elegantly Extreme E-Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extreme-escooter.md) - [Robust SUV-Inspired Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gogoro-crossover.md) - [Phone-Display E-Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apollo-pro.md) - [Eco-Friendly Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-electric-scooter.md)
