The Chariot is a hands-free, [self-balancing wearable device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfinstalling-exoskeleton) that you can just put on to roam around freely. The Chariot is controlled by the movement of the lower torso and hips and has a sensor-activated pod to read signals of movement, making The Chariot perfect for [amputees and injured veterans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobility-rehabilitation). The Chariot requires minimal physical effort and you can approach and reach objects quite closely. It is battery powered, and wearers can travel up to 12 miles per hour. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% 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 - **Self-balancing Wearable Devices:** The trend towards self-balancing wearable devices presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the mobility and accessibility industries. - **Sensor-activated Mobility Aids:** The trend towards sensor-activated mobility aids presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the healthcare and adaptive technology industries. - **Hands-free Transportation:** The trend towards hands-free transportation presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in the personal mobility and fitness industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Mobility:** The mobility industry can innovate by incorporating self-balancing wearable devices and hands-free transportation to improve accessibility and personal mobility. - **Healthcare:** The healthcare industry can innovate by incorporating sensor-activated mobility aids to improve patient mobility for injured veterans and those with physical disabilities. - **Adaptive Technology:** The adaptive technology industry can innovate by incorporating sensor-activated mobility aids to improve accessibility and mobility for individuals with diverse physical abilities. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mobility Assistive Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wim.md) - [Urban Mobility Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uni-one.md) - [Cutting-Edge Medical Exoskeletons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medical-exoskeleton.md) - [Assistive Manual Wheelchair Add-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manual-wheelchair.md) - [Smartphone-Controlled Mobility Seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gosolo-personal-mobility-device.md) - [VR Electric Mobility Wheelchairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobility-wheelchair.md) - [Wheel-Free Assisted Mobility Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-walk-me.md) - [App-Controlled Skates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/appcontrolled-skates.md) - [Stride-Assisting Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolve-mvmt.md)
