Dissent Magneto is a [zero- emission trike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-iris-etrike) that can shift its shape according to speed. The trike features [two front wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars) that come closer together when riding at high speeds, while at low speeds, the wheels move outward to provide stability to the trike. The Dissent Magneto Sport also features a a [magnetic levitation propulsion system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-bicycle-model) that uses onboard batteries and hydrogen to power the trike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Shape-shifting Vehicles:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing vehicles that can dynamically adjust their shape according to speed. - **Green and Clean Energy:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in utilizing renewable energy sources to power vehicles, reducing emissions and environmental impact. - **Magnetic Levitation Propulsion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in adopting magnetic levitation technology for efficient and sustainable propulsion systems in vehicles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the automotive industry by developing shape-shifting vehicles powered by green and clean energy. - **Renewable Energy:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the renewable energy industry by exploring ways to harness clean energy sources for powering vehicles. - **Transportation:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the transportation industry through the implementation of magnetic levitation propulsion systems in vehicles. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Recumbent Pedal-Assist Electric Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemoo-recumbent-tricycle.md) - [Customizable Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maven-urban-etrike.md) - [Expandable Electric Cargo Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-folding-cargo-bike.md) - [Comfortable Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/two-front-wheel-electric.md) - [Wearable Electric Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-electric-threewheeler.md) - [Shapeshifting Superbike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hypercycle.md) - [Futuristic Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-tricera.md) - [Tilting Cargo-Friendly eTrikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trike-flatbed-hybrid-750.md)
