# Three-Wheeled Ecocycles The Honda 3R-C is an Epic Concept Trike By Michael Hines | Published 2010-02-25 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honda-3r-c References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/another-honda-bombshell-3r-c-single-person-electric-concept/14312/) & [world.honda](http://world.honda.com/profile/research/) I expect jaws to drop when the [Honda](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-scooters) 3R-C debuts at the Geneva Motor Show next week. This trike, or "ecocycle", is like nothing I have ever seen or heard of before. The Honda 3R-C is an [electric-powered trike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meet-one-trike-tour) with a few tricks up its sleeve. When parked, a roof raises up over the trike. While driving, that room becomes a [protective windshield](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-iris-etrike). Awesome. Check out the photos in the gallery and tell me what you think. I'll be first in line when these come out. No cuts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 58% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Electric-powered Trikes:** Exploring the potential of electric-powered trikes as a sustainable and innovative mode of transportation. - **Transforming Canopies:** Designing trikes with transforming canopies that provide protection while driving and convert into a roof when parked. - **Unique Concept Vehicles:** Creating unique and eye-catching concept vehicles that challenge traditional design norms. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore the development of electric-powered trikes to offer eco-friendly transportation options. - **Sustainable Transportation:** The sustainable transportation industry can leverage transforming canopies to enhance the usability and appeal of electric-powered vehicles. - **Design and Innovation:** The design and innovation industry can push the boundaries of concept vehicles by creating visually striking and unconventional designs like the Honda 3R-C. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Retro-Style Electric Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etrike-revolution.md) - [Enclosed Electric Tricycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carver-electric-city-car.md) - [Autonomous Three-Wheeled Task Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfdriving-concept-trike.md) - [Expandable Electric Cargo Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-folding-cargo-bike.md) - [Tadpole-Shaped Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/threewheeled-cars.md) - [Four-Wheeled Hybrid Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karver-cyle-concept-k1.md) - [Shapeshifting Urban Commuter Trikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mgx-trike-concept.md) - [Canopy-Covered Cargo Scooters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-scooters.md) - [Enclosed eTrike Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-iris-etrike.md)
