The GoblinAero is a [human-powered or motor-assisted hot rod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-bagnole-electric-utv) that the makers of the company hope will save drivers thousands of dollars in fuel costs. The Goblin uses a [Honda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-motocompacto) 35 or 50 cc engine gives 150 mpg. This little car is capable of speeds up to 30 miles per hour and is perfect for running [short errands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastport-equad), such as making runs to the grocery store. Not only is the Goblin great on the eco system and a money-saving venture for drivers, it’s a convenience for those who have lost their license to drive. In most states, a license, registration, and insurance are not needed for the GoblinAero. No, you won’t be doing much drag racing with this car, but you will save a whole lot of money. The GoblinAero will be available this month for $5995. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% 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 - **Human-powered Vehicles:** Exploring the market potential and development of eco-friendly transportation options that rely on human power instead of traditional fuels. - **Fuel Efficiency:** Investigating advancements in technology and design that aim to optimize fuel consumption and reduce costs for personal transportation. - **Alternative Transportation:** Examining the rise of innovative modes of transportation, such as electric bikes or scooters, as alternatives to traditional automobiles. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** Identifying opportunities for automobile manufacturers to incorporate eco-friendly features and design elements into their product offerings. - **Sustainable Energy:** Exploring how the development of energy-efficient modes of transportation aligns with the goals of the sustainable energy industry to reduce carbon emissions. - **Urban Mobility:** Analyzing the potential disruption caused by the introduction of compact, human-powered vehicles in densely populated urban areas and their impact on urban mobility solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compact Electric City Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kg-motors.md) - [Cost-Effective Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roam-air.md) - [Sleek Electricity-Storing Velomobiles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electricity-storing-velomobile.md) - [Petite Solar-Powered EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-ev.md) - [Electric Hot Rod Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-hot-rod.md) - [Affordable Two-Seater Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ark-zero.md) - [Electric Three-Wheel Roadsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheel-roadster.md) - [Cutely Compact Commuter Mopeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-bike.md) - [Eco-Friendly Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-electric-scooter.md)
