The Free Spirit is a cross between a bike and a car. What Leonid Lucenko has really designed, of course, is a [tricycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-trike-design).

Sometimes designers let creativity get in the way. For example, the Free Spirit has [three wheels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars): tri; not two: bi. Plus, it appears it doesn't have peddles, which makes it some kind of [motorcycle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuickwheel-skyrider-x6). But all those little flaws aside, this is one cool design. It's a fantasy, but it might inspire other designers to take the chance that the right combination of sexy style and ecology can find a big market.
