It takes the basic form with the two font wheels and a single rear tire but the body is rendered clean, streamlined and irresistibly smooth. A glossy coat of white paint showcases the bulbous curves of the motorized tricycle, somewhat inspired by the original an iconic [Vespa](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike1) Piaggio. A plushy and richly red-colored seat gives the rider optimal comfort on a powerful compact commuter vehicle that's must safer to drive than most of its class. A pair of rear-view mirrors gives the Cyclop Scooter an endearing buggy appearance on top of the ergonomic handlebars. An ocular headlight is mounted at the front of the machine, no doubt having influenced its name. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Streamlined-design Scooters:** Opportunity for scooter manufacturers to create sleek and modern designs that stand out in the market. - **Three-wheeled Commuter Vehicles:** Potential for the development of more three-wheeled vehicles that offer enhanced stability and safety for urban commuters. - **Ergonomic Handlebar Design:** Chance for innovation in handlebar design to improve comfort and usability for scooter riders. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive Design:** Automotive design firms can explore new opportunities to create unique and visually appealing scooter designs. - **Urban Commuter Vehicles:** Market potential for the development of compact and safe vehicles designed specifically for urban commuting. - **Motorcycle Accessories:** Opportunity for motorcycle accessory manufacturers to create innovative and stylish handlebar designs for improved user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cutely Compact Commuter Mopeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-bike.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [Ultra-Modern Moped Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moppe-apparatus-tdmp1.md) - [Wearable Electric Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-electric-threewheeler.md) - [Tadpole-Shaped Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike1.md) - [Hybridized Police Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/police-scooter.md) - [Autonomous Three-Wheeled Task Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-concept-trike.md) - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md)
