The concept trike draws design inspiration from the silhouette of a gorilla and thus features an aggressively structured appearance when on the road. This will work to support the needs of riders and keep them feeling safer when commuting or [weaving through traffic on busy streets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tris-ev). The conceptual 'TRIKE' is the design work of Hyun Jik Song and features an [electric motor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike-design) for enhanced efficiency in order to make it a futuristic addition to cities. The vehicle could drastically enhance the rider's sense of security and comfort when riding for short or long distances. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Transportation](https://www.trendhunter.com/transportation) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Efficient Geometric Commuter Vehicles:** There is a potential for disruptive innovation in creating vehicles with unique and efficient geometric designs for urban commuters. - **Inspired Design:** Drawing inspiration from sources like nature, animals, and geometry can lead to disruptive innovations in vehicle design. - **Electric Commuter Vehicles:** Electric motors can improve the efficiency of commuter vehicles, providing an opportunity for innovative designs that prioritize sustainability. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can explore new ways to design and manufacture efficient and safe commuter vehicles inspired by nature and unique geometric structures. - **Urban Transportation Industry:** The urban transportation industry can benefit from creating innovative commuter vehicles that prioritize safety and comfort for riders in metropolitan areas. - **Electric Vehicle Industry:** The electric vehicle industry can continue to push for sustainable innovations in commuter vehicles, including those with unique designs inspired by geometry and nature. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Rectangular Cockpit Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tricycle-scooter-design.md) - [Expandable Electric Cargo Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-folding-cargo-bike.md) - [Customizable Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maven-urban-etrike.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [Transforming Electric Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triso-electric-motorcycle.md) - [Electric Cargo Trike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cake-slev.md) - [Tri-Fold Unibody Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onebots7.md) - [Autonomous Three-Wheeled Task Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-concept-trike.md)
