# Scooter-Charging Hatchbacks The Geely McCar Comes With its Own Electric Scooter By Michael Hines | Published 2011-04-24 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geely-mccar References: [bornrich](http://www.bornrich.com/entry/ultra-compact-geely-mccar-comes-with-an-electric-scooter-in-the-rear/) & [202.155.223.21](http://202.155.223.21/~geelmhk1/en/index.html) Urbanites are going to flip when they see the new [Geely](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeekr-001) McCar. Chinese automaker Geely recently unveiled the McCar at the Shanghai Motor Show and I can safely say that it is unlike anything I have ever seen before. The Geely McCar is a [plug-in hybrid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omoda-7) that has a six-hour charge time and and can run for 93 miles solely off electricity or for 373 miles using a combination of gas and electricity. The most unique feature of this car has to be the [included scooter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harley-davidson-livewire) that sits in the trunk and is charged by the car. The scooter has a top speed of 18 mph, a maximum range of 18 miles and a charge time of two hours. There is a shot that the Geely McCar could see production, but I wouldn't expect to see it stateside without some major tweaks for height and weight. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 41% | Activity: 18% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% 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's Driving This Trend - **Integrated Scooter-charging Vehicles:** The Geely McCar's inclusion of a scooter that is charged by the car presents an opportunity for automakers to integrate other types of transportation into their vehicles. - **Hybrid Plug-in Cars:** The Geely McCar's hybrid plug-in system presents an opportunity for carmakers to produce more eco-friendly vehicles. - **Urban Mobility Solutions:** The Geely McCar represents a potential solution to the transportation challenges faced by urbanites, presenting an opportunity for companies to develop other innovative solutions for urban mobility. ### Who This Affects Most - **Automotive:** With the inclusion of a scooter that is charged by the car, the Geely McCar presents an opportunity for the automotive industry to develop more integrated transportation solutions. - **Electric Vehicles:** The Geely McCar's hybrid plug-in system presents an opportunity for the electric vehicle industry to continue to develop more efficient and eco-friendly transportation options. - **Smart Cities:** The Geely McCar's potential as a solution to urban transportation challenges presents an opportunity for companies in the smart city industry to develop other innovative transportation solutions for urbanites. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Collaboration Automotive Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-x-mclaren-special-edition.md) - [Enclosed Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carver-electric-city-car.md) - [Scooter-Cargo Bike Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/razor.md) - [Two-in-One Scooter Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/popup-scooter.md) - [Mini Foldable Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-foldable-electric-scooter.md) - [Performance-Focused Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nce-s.md) - [Quick-Charge Electric CUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyundai-inster.md) - [Hybrid Design Electric Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prozui-electric-scooter.md) - [Rapid Charge Electric SUVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-suv-ev.md)
