The WLV uses either the wing on the hood, the [three electric-powered tires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars) or all three to move like a windsurfer. The novel and innovative concept kite car, which was designed by Tsung-Ho Wang, Min-Gyu Jung and Sung-Je Do, harnesses the wind's power for locomotion, but for those stiller days, passengers can use the motored wheels. **Implications** - Although it is not yet a functional innovation, the [kite car concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-walkers) is exciting to techies with hope for the future of travel. The machine is ridden with infinite design possibilities, with fans of the idea hoping for a wookie-made skycar. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Wind Power:** The concept kite car demonstrates the potential for harnessing wind power for locomotion, opening up opportunities for wind-powered transportation solutions. - **Electric-powered Tires:** The electric-powered tires featured in the Wind Light Vehicle concept showcase the potential for innovative tire technology in the automotive industry. - **Futuristic Design:** The winged and futuristic design of the Wind Light Vehicle concept presents opportunities for groundbreaking advancements in the aesthetics and functionality of future vehicles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation:** The concept kite car highlights the potential for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry, particularly in the development of sustainable and alternative propulsion methods. - **Automotive:** The Wind Light Vehicle concept opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry, with opportunities for the integration of wind power and electric-powered tires into future vehicle models. - **Technology:** The concept kite car represents a convergence of technology and transportation, indicating potential disruptive innovation at the intersection of these industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Aerodynamic Vehicle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tatra-77-concept.md) - [Inductive Charging Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vixen-electric-sports-kit-car.md) - [Four-Wheeled Hybrid Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karver-cyle-concept-k1.md) - [Flying Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-car-concepts.md) - [Working Flying Car Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-car-prototype.md) - [Magnetic Wall-Scaling Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trois-mobility-concept.md) - [Road-Legal Flying Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchblade-1.md) - [Two-Wheeled EV Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twowheeled-electric-car.md) - [Folding Wing eVTOL Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evtol-concept-design.md)
